The origin of surnames
● From Shen Shi.
It is said that after Boyi's death, Zhou Wuwang sealed his descendants in the deep country, which is now north of Nanyang County, Henan Province, and listed them as one of the princes. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Shen was destroyed by the State of Chu. According to the custom at that time, the descendants of Boyi took the country as their surname and Shen as their surname. Later, the surname came from a doctor named Shen Shushi in Chu, taking Wang Fu as his surname.
"Textual Research on Surnames" said the surname at that time, "Surnames came from Dr. Yin and Dr. Chu when they applied for uncles. He looked out of Longxi and stayed in Chen."
● From the surname of Song.
The surname at that time also came from the surname of Song. Wei Zi, the Shang king of Zhou Wuwang, set out from Shangqiu and established the Song State. The descendants of Song Gong took the country name as their surname. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a doctor in the State of Song, who was made the duke, and his descendants took the fief as their surname and passed it down from generation to generation.
As far as I am concerned, the specific meaning of Shi surname is only the most popular surname with strong historical color in ancient times, although not many people give Shi surname today. (Please adopt, thank you)
