Tohoro Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

Tohoro is an old Jurchen-Manchurian clan name from Manchuria. In Standard Chinese it is 托活络 (Tuoheluo). Although it is a Manchu name, it was claimed to have Han Chinese origin.

A known person with this name is a Manchurian-Chinese politician from the Qing Dynasty called Duanfang. Duanfang was actually Han Chinese even though he was under a Manchu banner. Han Chinese in the Manchu banners became Manchucized. The Manchu White Banner were joined by some Zhejiang Han Chinese with the family name Tao who defected to the Manchus towards the end of the Ming Dynasty. Their last name was changed to the Manchu sounding "Tohoro". Duanfang was one of their descendants.

Nowadays, very few Manchus use Tohoro as a family name. Most sinicized Manchus changed it to one syllable Han Chinese surnames such as Tao (陶), Tuo (妥),Tuo (托), He/Huo (活), Luo (洛), etc.
