Origin note

Shuang/双 is handled as the simplified form of traditional 雙 in this row. One source-backed layer derives it from Mengshuang city as a place-name surname, with Meng and Shuang branching from the same locality. Other layers point to Tang-period minority surnames and later Manchu old surnames such as Juru, Jursu, and Esuri being rendered as Shuang in Han-character surnames. The page keeps these layers separate from the everyday meaning pair or both.
