Shao (Chinese: 邵; pinyin: Shào; HKG Romanisation: Shiu; Gwoyeu Romatzyh: Shaw) is a common Chinese family name. It is the 86th most populous family name in China. It corresponds to last name So in Korean; Thiệu or Thiều in Vietnamese; Zau in Wu Chinese/Shanghainese and Siu, Chow, or Sho in other Chinese romanisations. The origin of the family name Shao is thought to have come from the royal lines of the Zhou dynasty in ancient China. The King's loyal subject Duke of Shao (召公), was thought to have originated the Shao lines. The Hundred Family Surnames also mentions a much rarer surname with the same pronunciation but with a different tone: Sháo (韶).
