What is the ancestor of He family?

There are several theories about the origin of surnames:

1, from Ji's surname.

Zhou Wuwang's son was sealed in Korea, and the country was destroyed. His descendant, Han Wuzi (another way of saying it is that Han Wuzi is the descendant of Qu Wohuan, an uncle of the same family, that is, after his brother Shuyu), became an official in Jin, was sealed in Hanyuan, and took the land as his surname. Later, he was divided into Jin with Zhao and Wei and became a vassal. Qin Shihuang destroyed the six countries, and the Han people fled between Jianghuai because they changed their surnames.

2. Give a last name.

After Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved to Luoyang, he promoted the sinicization, and the Xianbei surname Heba was changed to the Han surname He. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, Tubo made Sonan's son submit to Ming Dynasty, and the hereditary Hezhouwei commander knew him and gave him He's name.

3. Take the country name as the surname.

During the Tang Dynasty, there were nine small Turkic countries in Central Asia, which were called "Nine surnames of Zhaowu" in history. Later, they moved to the Central Plains, each taking the country name as their surname.
