1, changed from "Ma Fu". Mafufen was originally a piece of land of Zhao in the Warring States Period, located in the northwest of Handan City, Hebei Province. In 270 BC, during the Warring States Period, Zhao She, the general of Zhao, led the army to defeat Qin Jun in the battle between Qin and Zhao. So King Huiwen of Zhao gave Ma Su to Zhao She and named him "Ma Su Jun", on an equal footing with Lian Po and Lin Xiangru. Zhao She's descendants took "Ma Fu" as their surname, and later changed their surname to "Ma". Since then, the descendants of the Ma family have moved from Mafu to Maoling in Youfu Peak (now northeast of Xingping, Shaanxi Province) and settled in the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. Therefore, the book "Surname Spectrum" records that the birthplace of the surname "Ma" is Fufeng.
2. According to the research of surnames, there was a surname of "Ma" in the ancient western regions. Later, those who had a surname of "Ma" in the western regions entered the mainland, that is, they took "Ma" as their surname.
According to the research of surname, Yue Naihe, the minister of Yuan Dynasty, changed his surname to "Ma" because his grandfather was the commander-in-chief of the "Ma bu" or horse stance just look in Jin Dynasty. The "Ma" surname of Hui nationality is an important aspect of the origin of "Ma" surname. People often say, "Nine times out of ten, people are all surnamed Ma, and there are also Sha, La and Ha". It is not accurate to summarize the surname of the Hui nationality with this proverb, but it is generally in line with the facts.
4. There are so many Ma surnames in the Hui nationality, which is mainly related to the transliteration of Arabic and Persian names, especially to the transliteration of Muhammad, the founder of Islam. Because Ma and Mu are homophonic, Muhammad was translated into Mahama in many works of Ming Dynasty. This translation method has a great influence on the Qing Dynasty and its descendants. For example, Waterway to the Western Regions and Wei Yuan's Atlas of Sea Countries both translated the first sound of a person's name "wood" into "horse". Some people even called Muhammad a "sage in the horse". Under the influence of this situation, coupled with the fact that the surname Ma was given by the emperor, Hui people did not attach importance to the genealogy of surnames like Han people and were free to choose surnames, so many Hui people chose the surname Ma, which greatly increased the number of people surnamed Ma.
5. Since the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Ma Jiashi changed his surname to Ma. There are many Manchu horse surnames in Northeast China. After Nuerhachi established the Jin State, many Manchu horse surnames appeared in the Eight Banners. Ma surname of Manchu is related to place names. It is said that in the Western Han Dynasty, there was a husband country in what is now Jilin Province. This country is also famous for raising famous horses. They also call officials vest, dog armor and ox armor, and take six kinds of animals as official names. The jurchen who moved here all took this place name as their surname, so they were considered to be different clans with the same surname.
6. From his surname to Ma. For example, there was a man in the Han Dynasty whose real name was Ma Ya, who went to study as an official and changed his name to Ma.
