According to a note in Xing Shi Kao Lue citing the Han Shu's Gujin Renbiao, Boyi Liangfu, teacher of the ancient emperor Zhuanxu, may be the source of the Liang surname; the source therefore says that the surname was probably formed from a personal name.
The Zheng Tongzhi's Clan Records includes the Liang surname, which the source says first appeared in the Xingyuan. The source also reports that Liang and Liang-with-the-speech radical are interchangeable and that Liang may in fact be the Liang surname, but this remains a possibility.
