Hu is a Chinese surname. It is the 15th most common Chinese surname in the People's Republic of China, according to a study published in 2006.[1]
The spelling Hu can be used by numerous less common Chinese family names including but not limited to 瓠,護,戶,扈,虎,呼,忽,斛 etc.
Non-Chinese peoples in China sometimes took the name of their ethnic group as surname. The best example is Hu (胡), which was also used to refer to all "barbarian" groups on the northern frontier of China in ancient times. In addition, some adopted Chinese surnames that sound similar to their name, such as Hu for Hussain.
