The source explicitly lists Biao (標) as a currently rare surname, pronounced biāo. It also presents same-form surname data from different groups and regions, which should not be merged into a single lineage.
The source attributes this account to the Dong people and says that, in the late Yuan period, the surname arose from an official title among the Dong or Dongliao. According to an account by Biao Longwu of Longsheng, Guangxi, the ancestors were local tusi of Yining County in Liuzhou Circuit and inherited the surname from the official title “Biao.” The source states that the details remain to be verified.
Citing the Qing Tongzhi, the source says that the Mongolian Biaote clan was also called Biaote with the forms 標特 and 彪特, and lived in Kalaqin. From the mid-Qing period onward, some Biaote members adopted the Han surnames Yang, Biao, or Biao (標). The source also says that some Manchus adopted it as a surname, without specifying a particular lineage.
