【Meaning】
The character Hong (洪) is composed of the radicals for "Water" (水) and "Gong" (共 - meaning common/together). The "Water" radical indicates that the ancestral Hong people lived along riverbanks and in areas characterized by crisscrossing waterways. Historically, Hong conveys the meaning of a "great flood" or "vastness," symbolizing power, abundance, and the expansive nature of water.
【Origins】
From the Descendants of Gonggong: Gonggong was a minister under the legendary Emperor Yao, serving as the "Gongshi" (Master of Works). He was later exiled to You (southwest of present-day Beijing). His descendants initially adopted the surname Gong (共). Later, they added the "Water" radical to the left of the character, changing the surname to Hong (洪). The bloodline ancestor of this branch is Gonggong.
From the State of Zheng (Spring and Autumn Period): Shu Duan, the son of Duke Wu of Zheng and younger brother of Duke Zhuang of Zheng, fled to the State of Gong (present-day Hui County, Henan) after a failed coup. He is also known as Gong Shu Duan. His descendants first used "Gong" as their surname and later added the "Water" radical to become the Hong clan. The bloodline ancestor of this branch is Ji Shu Duan.

【釋義】
「洪」字由「水」與「共」組成。從「水」部可以看出,洪氏先民最早生活在河道縱橫、水源充足的水邊。在文字本義中,「洪」代表大水、浩大與廣闊,象徵著奔騰不息的力量與如水般的包容力。
【起源】
源於共工氏: 堯的大臣共工,擔任工師之職,後被流放於幽(今北京城西南)。他的後代最早以「共」為姓,後來在「共」字左邊加了水字旁,改為「洪」姓。這支洪氏的血緣始祖為共工。
源於鄭國王室(春秋時期): 鄭武公之子、鄭莊公之弟叔段,因發動政變失敗,逃到了「共國」(今河南輝縣),史稱「共叔段」。其子孫先以「共」為氏,後亦在左邊加水成為洪氏。這支洪氏的血緣始祖為姬叔段。
