Family Name: The character 蒲 refers to a type of aquatic plant known as cattail. The origin of the Pu surname is multifaceted. One theory posits that it stems from the descendants of Youhu, who lived in Puban (modern-day Yongji, Shanxi) during ancient times, with their descendants adopting the place name as their surname. Another theory links it to the descendants of Emperor Shun during the Xia Dynasty, who were granted land in Pu (modern-day Changyuan, Henan), leading to the adoption of the surname Pu. Additionally, there is a belief that the surname originated from the modification of surnames by ethnic minorities, such as the Pubian and Pucha clans during the Northern Wei Dynasty.
