Research Notes
Origin information unavailable
The source explicitly says that information on the surname 测 has not yet been collected, so this page cannot support claims about its origin, documented lineage, or associated traditions.

Start with ancestral counties, villages, personal names and dates. Record genealogy titles, volumes, editions and catalog identifiers. A shared surname does not prove a shared lineage; compare branch records.
