Ouhou, Ou, and Ouyang descended from Ti, the second son of King Wujian of Yue. Ti was enfeoffed south of Ouyu Mountain in Wucheng, and the three surnames Ou, Ouyang, and Ouhou arose from the place name and the title of the enfeoffment.
In later periods, Ouyang and Ouhou were sometimes shortened to Ou, while their origin remained in this lineage.
The Lushi records that the second son of King Wujian of Yue was enfeoffed south of Ouyu Mountain in Wucheng, after which the surnames Ou, Ouyang, and Ouhou emerged.
