The entry in the Surname Textual Research, citing the Zuo Commentary, says that 犂 is the character 黎 and that Qi had 犂弥 and 犂鉏, whose surname came from a fief. This remains a report of the cited tradition; the supplied text does not verify the original works.
The source says that Qi’s 犂邑 in the Spring and Autumn period was also called 犂丘 and was west of present-day Linyi County, Shandong; it also records a Han-period person named 犂胡次. These attestations by themselves do not establish a continuous family genealogy.
The source describes the surname as “widely distributed” and lists Wuqing in Tianjin; Jingxian in Hebei; Yutai in Shandong; Xinzhou in Shanxi; Wuchang in Hubei; Xinhui and Wuchuan in Guangdong; Guanyang in Guangxi; Qiubei in Yunnan; and Chengdu in Sichuan.
The source separately lists another 犁 entry and says its origin is unknown, noting only that this surname exists in Xingan, Jiangxi. It should therefore not be automatically merged with the Qi fief-origin account or with the Han Chinese surname entry.
