Citing the Wanxing Tongpu, the source says that the 侣 surname developed from the 妫 surname because the two were homophonous at the time and some collateral branches changed their surname to 侣. The account also connects it with Yu the Great and descendants of the Yellow Emperor; this remains an origin account attributed to that book.
