The 洛 surname

Translated from the Chinese article, which is the one that is edited (read it in Chinese).

The Luo (洛) surname is very rarely recorded in Taishan, and no genealogy or historical record devoted to it has been found so far. In Cantonese the character 洛 is read lok3 or lok6,[1] the same as or close to the reading of the Luo (骆) surname, so the surname recorded in Taishan as 洛 is quite likely a variant writing or a miswriting of Luo (骆); this is yet to be verified by members of the clan. For the Luo (骆) surname in Taishan, see the article on the Luo (骆) surname.

Origin of the surname[edit]

洛 was originally the name of a river, the Luo River (洛水), which flows through today's Shaanxi and Henan; old books also write it 雒.[1] As a surname, no reliable record of the origin of Luo (洛) has been found. For the Luo (骆) surname there are several accounts, among them that it comes from the Jiang (姜) surname (from Prince Luo (公子骆), a descendant of Duke Tai of Qi (齐太公)) or from the Ying (嬴) surname (from the descendants of Da Luo (大骆)).[2]

Coming to Taishan[edit]

How the Luo (洛) came to Taishan and where they live is yet to be added. Family members who know more are welcome to edit this article.
