Meaning and Origin Fiefdom Origin: Most people with the Zhou surname trace their roots back to the Zhou Dynasty (1046–256 BC). Descendants took the name of the region or fiefdom (located in modern-day Shaanxi province) where their ancestors, such as King Wen of Zhou, resided. Ancient Lineage: Some records trace the name even further back to figures like Zhou Chang, a general under the legendary Yellow Emperor, or Zhou Ren, an official during the Shang Dynasty. Name Changes: Over centuries, some families adopted Zhou to replace older surnames, such as Ji (to avoid naming taboos during the Tang Dynasty) or certain ethnic minority clan names. Variations and Pronunciation Pronunciation: Rendered in Pinyin as Zhōu, it sounds similar to an English "joe" but with a distinct "ch" or "j" starting sound. Romanisation: Depending on regional dialects and overseas Chinese communities, it can be spelled as Chow, Chau, Chew, or Chiu.
