There are two sources;

1. from Ji, taking the city as the surname or the country name as the surname. Zhou Wenwang's 15th son, Bi Gong Gao, was sealed in Bi, and his grandson Bi Wan defected to the State of Jin and became a doctor after Bi was destroyed by Xirong. Because of his work, he was given the land of Wei as a city, and his descendants took the city as their surname, which was called Wei's. Wei State was founded by Wei Si, the descendant of Bi Wan in 445 BC. After being destroyed by Qin in 225 BC, the royal family of Wei State who perished took the country name as their surname, forming the most important branch of Wei surname. History says the surname Wei is authentic.

2. The foreign surname was changed to Wei. During the Warring States Period, Qin Zhaoxiang became the king, including Guo Xiang, Anghou, Wei Ran, the half-brother of Queen Mother Xuantai of Zhao Xiang, a native of Chu, and later changed his surname to Wei. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Pujiang people were Wei Liaoweng, Qingyuan Jinshi, Ben Gaoshi, and later changed their surname to Wei. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a school for Kunshan people, whose predecessor was Li, Hongzhi Jinshi, and later changed his surname to Wei.
