Origin

Place: Feng state or Feng locality tradition around Huxian / Xi an and Jingzhao commandery in common accounts, with alternate location details treated cautiously

Origin note

Feng/酆 is treated as a Zhou state-name surname. The core account says a son of King Wen of Zhou, remembered as Fenghou, was enfeoffed at Feng, and descendants used the state or fief name as a surname. Later sources disagree on details of the exact Feng place and discuss graph history between Feng/丰 and Feng/酆, so the page keeps the origin as a received Ji-lineage state-name tradition rather than overclaiming one location.
