Qingyuan City is rich in beautiful mountains and rivers and rich resources, and has been an ideal place for human beings since ancient times. The discovery of stone tools used by ancient humans 100,000 years ago shows that the dawn of human civilization has bathed this land of Bell Spirit Andu long ago.
In the pre-Qin period, Qingyuan belonged to the ancient Yue ethnic group, and the social organization and surname situation at that time could not be checked. The earliest surnames in the present-day city area that can be traced appeared in the Han Dynasty, when there were 4 families, including the He clan of Hunyang (present-day Yingde City), the Wu clan of Yangshan, the Tang clan of Guiyang (present-day Lianzhou City), and the Yuan clan. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Wang clans included the Guiyang Deng clan and the Liao clan, the Lu clan in Zhongsu (formerly Qingyuan County), and the Ouyang clan in The Frame (present-day Yingde Huan). During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Ou clan became the Hao clan of Lianzhou. In the Tang Dynasty, there were three famous families in the Lianyang area, Namely He Changqi, Li Yujia and Liu Zhan.
From the fifth dynasty to the Song Dynasty, a large number of Han people from Lingbei entered the city, which increased the population and surname number of the present city as never before. There are 30 surnames that have gone in and out of the soil. Among them, Lianzhou He, Shao, Tang, Huang, Luo, Wu, Li, Lei, Chen, Xia, Liao, Yan, Wen, Hu, Li, Fu, Liang, Cai, Jiang, Wu, Liu, Meng, Shi, Ou, Deng, Zhang, Ouyang, etc.; Yingzhou has Feng, Li, Zheng, Wang and so on.
In addition to Han surnames, some Yao surnames among ethnic minorities also moved in very early, such as Liannanpan, Fang, Tang, Shen, Long and other PaiYao surnames, which were successively moved from Hunan as early as the Tang and Song dynasties.
The long period of wars and natural disasters from the end of the Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty caused the population of Qingyuan City to decrease unprecedentedly, and for a time there was a situation of sparse population. This kind of land situation provided an excellent opportunity for the Hakka people with high population density living in the counties of the Fujian-Guangdong-Gansu Border Region at that time to expand their space. Since the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Hakka people have moved to Qingyuan City in a large number of people, so that the descendants of Hakka surnames account for a high proportion of the population composition of the city today.
Since the Republic of China, the number of surnames in Qingyuan has increased greatly. It is mainly caused by four major factors: - - During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a large number of refugees in the occupied areas of the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong took refuge, and some of them settled in the territory of the city and became permanent residents; Second, in the early days of the founding of New China, due to the needs of suppressing bandits, land reform, and building a new political power,- . a large number of cadres from other fields (including cadres of the troops who were transferred to local work in the army going south) were transferred to Qingyuan work; Third, since the 1950s, the Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Bureau and the Provincial Overseas Chinese Committee have successively opened 4 overseas Chinese tea (farms) farms in Yingde and Qingyuan counties, and resettled a large number of returned overseas Chinese from Indonesia, Vietnam and other countries; Fourth, since the reform and opening up, especially since the establishment of Qingyuan City, a large number of job seekers, operators and migrant workers have poured in from all over the country, and some of them have become the population of Qingyuan household registration.
According to statistics in 2003, there are 849 surnames in the city, of which 845 are single surnames and 4 are compound surnames.

In the city's townships, the largest number of surnames is Qiashi, reaching 257 surnames.
