Qiú is the Hanyu Pinyin transliteration of the Chinese surname 仇 (Qiú) and 裘 (Qiú). 仇 (Qiú) There are three sources for the ancestry of 仇: #A Xia vassal by the name of Jiuwu (九吾) established the state of Jiu (九), but it was destroyed by King Zhou of Shang in the Shang dynasty. To escape prosecution, the descendants of Jiuwu appended the 人 ("person") radical to 九 (Jiu), thus creating the surname 仇. #In the Spring and Autumn period, Duke Min of Song (宋湣公) was murdered by his subordinate Nangong Wan (南宮萬). The minister Zi Qiumu (子仇牧) sought revenge but was also killed by Nangong Wan. Zi Qiumu's descendants then took the first character of his name, Qiu 仇, to be their surname. #In Northern Wei, a Hou Luoqi (侯洛齊) of Zhongshan was adopted by the Qiu clan, and thus changed his surname from Hou to Qiu. He rose in ranks due to his military endeavours, and the Qiu clan became prosperous at the time. ;Prominent people with the surname * Qiu ...
