The surname Liao comes from Zhao Bo Liao, a descendant of King Wen of Zhou, and belongs to the name of the ancestor.

After King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang, he was named Bo Liao, the son of King Wen of Zhou, in the land of the ancient kingdom of Biao, in Huyang Town, south of the Tang River in present-day Henan, and died in the Chu State in the early Spring and Autumn Period. The descendants take the country as their clan. Because Liao Guoguo is weak and weak, it is not seen in the scriptures, so it is difficult to confirm.

It is very likely that Liao, Tate, Zheng, and Biao are in the same place, after the same person.

Among the descendants of Zhao Bo Liao, there are those who take the ancestor's name as their surname, called Liao, and become a ** of Liao. Before the Qin and Han dynasties, there were Liao clansmen in present-day Henan, Hebei, Shaanxi and other places. During the Han Dynasty, Liao Jie, a descendant of Zhao Bo Liao, served as the Taishou of Julu, and in history, the Liao clan in the Julu area was once a local noble family.
