Xiu Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
The Xiu surname comes from an elite name of the ruling dynastic Maya of Uxmal.
The Tutul Xiu were the noble reigning family of this ancient Maya city in Mexico, until abandoned (c. 1450). Their native Maya descendents carry this name until today.
Xiu also has independent far eastern origins in China. The Zhou king, Mu Wang, was far away to the west in the Kunlun mountains, but raced back to confront and defeat the Xu prince. Mu Wang then granted the state of Xu to the defeated prince's son, giving him the 'style name' of Xu. Descendants of this new ruler eventually adopted Xu as their surname.
