【Meaning】
Ge (葛) refers to the Kudzu plant (Pueraria montana), a genus of climbing, coiling, and trailing deciduous perennial vines in the legume family (Fabaceae). Historically, the fibers of the Ge plant were used to weave "Ge cloth" (fine linen), which was essential for summer clothing in ancient China. It symbolizes resilience, utility, and the intertwining of nature and human industry.
【Origins】
From the Ge Tian Clan (Ancient Tribes): The Ge surname originates from the Ge Tian Clan, an ancient tribe of the Central Plains. According to historical records, the Ge Tian lineage is exceptionally old. The name was eventually simplified to the single surname Ge, with ancestral roots in Changge.
From the State of Ge (Ying Surname): During the Xia Dynasty, there was a State of Ge held by those with the Ying (嬴) surname with the rank of Earl.
The Enfeoffment of Bo Yi's Descendants: When the Ge Tian lineage reached the 42nd generation at the time of Bo Yi, Yu the Great's son, Qi, ascended the throne. He enfeoffed Bo Yi's eldest son, Da Lian, as the monarch of the State of Ge (located in present-day Ningling, Henan).
Transition through Dynasties: After Tang of Shang overthrew the State of Ge and established the Shang Dynasty, he re-enfeoffed the descendants of the Earl of Ge as a vassal state. After the final dissolution of the state, the descendants adopted the state name as their surname, Ge.
