Fan / Fan
The source explicitly lists 藩 as a currently rare surname and records it separately as a Han surname and an Indigenous Taiwanese surname; it does not establish that these belong to the same origin or lineage.
The source says that 藩 is recorded in the Xu Tongzhi, Clan Records section, and that Xing shi kao lue cites Lu Shi for the statement “a descendant of Bi Gong Gao had the 藩 surname.” These are second-hand citations within the supplied source and are not treated here as independently verified originals.
The source gives Xingyang as the commandery prestige and says that the surname may also be written 蕃 or 籓; it provides no specific ancestral hall name.
The source lists Songjiang in Shanghai, Yingjiang in Yunnan, Lushi in Henan, Yiyang in Hunan, and Taiyuan, Linfen, Yuncheng, and Lüliang in Shanxi; it also separately lists Shangyu in Zhejiang, Taiwan, and Beijing. These locations are reported by the source and do not establish a common origin.
The source records 藩彭祖 as the Northern Hai governor in the Han period. It also records 藩俊 as a Baoning native, a Jiajing-period recommended candidate, and the magistrate of Qingyuan County, with 籓俊 as a variant form. The source also calls 藩俊 the only historical figure of the 藩 surname found so far, so the differing scopes of these records should be retained.
