Family Name: The surname 劳 (Lao) originates from the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE) and is derived from a place name. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, a man named Lao Bing was enfeoffed as Marquis of Lao for his merits, and his descendants adopted the place name 'Lao' as their surname. Another theory suggests that the surname originates from Mount Lao in the state of Lu during the Spring and Autumn period, where inhabitants took the name of the mountain as their surname.
