The exact etymology of Niohuru has not been determined. The Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners records that it originally referred to a place name, while another view connects it with the Manchu word for “wolf.”
This clan was called Dilie in the Liao period, Nüxilie in the Jin period, Yiqilie in the Yuan period, and Niohuru in the Ming period. Within the Manchu clan, the Chinese surnames Niu and Lang were used.
After the founding of the Republic, many members of the Niohuru clan adopted Chinese surnames such as Lang, Niu, Liu, Zheng, He, Yang, Qian, and Jin.
