Nuo / Nuo
Nuo is a currently rare surname found in areas including Jinggu, Yunnan, and is borne by both Han and Dai people.
The Nuo surname is recorded in Xintai, Shandong, Taiwan, and Jianshui, Yunnan.
The Nuo surname is traced to the Huangdi lineage: Yun Ge, son of Mei, a non-primary son of Shaohao, was enfeoffed in Nuo, and his descendants adopted Nuo as their surname. The lineage runs from Huangdi through Qing (Qingyang), Shaohao, Mei, and Yun Ge to the Nuo surname.
Another account in surname literature derives the surname from the name of Nuo Water, identified as Nuo-zhen Water, located around present-day Tongjiang County in Sichuan and now called the Xi River.
Among Yun Ge's descendants, some adopted Nuo as their surname; during the time of Shun, they were moved to Youzhou and became ancestors of the Yin Rong.
The Tang period had Nuo Le, and the Song period had Nuo Qu.
