Thaksin Shinawatra

Family Name: The surname 丘 (Qiū) has multiple origins. One source traces back to Jiang Ziya (also known as Jiang Taigong), a noble in the State of Qi during the Spring and Autumn period, whose descendants were granted lands named 丘, leading to the surname. Another source links it to the descendants of Goujian, the King of Yue, who were also granted lands named 丘. Additionally, some ethnic minorities, such as the Manchus and Mongols, adopted the surname 丘 through assimilation or changes in their names.
