In the past, in order to make their children better supported, people often gave their children some ugly sounds, such as "stone", "dog leftovers", "dog dolls" and other names. The ancients believed that giving a lowly name would make the child's life harder, and it would not be easy to die in the process of the child's growth. Of course, there is no scientific basis for this statement, but only the self-psychological comfort of the ancients.
Modern parents want to give their children a loud, nice name. However, sometimes although the name is good, if the parent's last name is more difficult to hear, even the best name will become difficult to hear. For example, there are many surnames in China that sound very awkward, and these surnames are usually very rare. This is because these surnames are so ugly that people with the surname have changed their surnames. For example, surname, testicle surname, etc.
Cao surname is a very rare surname in China, and the population of this surname is very small, only about 120,000 people. Because the word is commonly used in swear words in many local dialects, the surname is somewhat embarrassing to pronounce. In fact, the surname Fu is a relatively old surname, and this surname should not be viewed with colored eyes.
There are many theories and controversies about the origin of the surname. Some people believe that this surname originated from an official position in the Yin Shang period, which belongs to the official surname. Some people also believe that this surname originated from the surname Ji, after all, the surname Ji is the ancestor of all surnames. There are also some people who believe that the ancestor of the Cao surname is actually Cao Cao, a celebrity of the Three Kingdoms, and after the Sima family usurped Wei, some of the descendants of the Cao clan changed "Cao" to "Cao" in order to escape the persecution of the Sima family. In fact, according to the research of experts, this statement is actually not reliable.
According to the historical records, the ancestor of the Cao surname genealogy, "Tiancheng Gong", should be Xiao Yuanming, the fifth emperor of southern Liang, and "Tiancheng" is Xiao Yuanming's era name. Therefore, the surname Cao should originate in the Southern and Northern Dynasties period in China. However, Xiao Yuanming's luck was not good, and just a few days after becoming emperor, Chen Baxian launched a mutiny to oust Xiao Yuanming from the throne. Later, in order to escape the war, some of Xiao Yuanming's descendants came to the Poyang area of Jiangxi to live in seclusion and changed their surname to Cao.
Because this history is not well known, many people have always mistakenly believed that the surname Cao cao is a descendant of Cao Cao. In fact, this is not the case, the Cao surname should originate from the Southern Liang Emperor Xiao Yuanming. However, because this surname is more difficult to hear, many people have changed their surname or changed to their mother's surname. So today, the number of people with this surname is getting smaller and smaller.
In addition to the surname, there is also a more ugly surname is the testicle surname. This surname is arguably the rarest in China, mainly distributed in Rong County in Guangxi and Xi'an in Shaanxi Province. Not only is the testicle surname very rare, it is also a very old surname. The ancestor of the testicle surname is said to be one of the four saints of the ancients, Gao Tao, according to the records in the "Surname Zhen", the testicle is actually the Gao Tao, that is, the ancestor of the testicle surname.
The surname testicle is indeed very rare, but it is also really ugly, and the average person is afraid that no one wants to take this surname. Especially for many women, this surname is very embarrassing and shameful to export. Many women with this surname secretly choose to change their names or choose to follow their mother's surname. Therefore, this surname is becoming more and more rare.
Although it is said that the surname is handed down from the ancestors, it is the root of a family. However, some surnames are also really embarrassing. Therefore, it is also a very normal thing to change the name and surname, but in this way, these rare surnames will probably become more and more rare, until they finally disappear into the river of time like many surnames in history.
