Surname Overview
Surname Attestation
The source explicitly classifies “呆” as a currently rare surname and states that it is included in Xinbian Qianjiaxing. The source places it in a surname-reference and Baijiaxing context, but does not identify an ethnic affiliation or another country's naming system.

Origins
Origins and Limits
The source gives no specific origin. It only says that the surname is found in Zhonghua Xingfu and Zhongguo Xingshi Ji; another entry explicitly says that its origin is unknown and mentions Xinbian Qianjiaxing. This is insufficient to establish a specific ancestral origin or lineage.
