Luo / Luo
The source explicitly identifies “洛” as a current surname and records it among both Han and Tibetan populations. It also says that the surname is included in the clan compilations of the Zheng Tongzhi and Xu Tongzhi, and was first seen in the Xingyuan.
The page quotes the Xing shi kaolue, Xingyuan, and Zheng Qiao as saying that the surname has different origins, including “originally the Luo surname, with the grass radical removed” and “the same as the Luo surname.” This confirms only the page’s quotations, not independent verification of the original texts.
The page lists Luo Zhong of the Ming dynasty, saying that he became a Qinglang Assistant Regional Commander and was known for filial conduct, and Luo Xuan of the Ming dynasty, saying that he became a Guizhou Regional Military Commissioner and died fighting in the Luchuan campaign during the Zhengtong era. The source does not state that the two belonged to a common lineage.
