Fu is a common spelling for some Chinese surnames, such as 傅, 符, 苻, 付, 扶, 伏, and 富.

(Mandarin:  ) (Hokkien: Poh) is an ancient Han Chinese surname of imperial origin which is at least 4,000 years old.

The great-great-great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, Dayou, bestowed this surname to his son Fu Yi and his descendants. Dayou is the eldest son of Danzhu and grandson of Emperor Yao.

It is also a sinicized surname for several clans of Manchurian nobility. During the Qing Dynasty, there was an ongoing process of Sinicization of surnames and many Manchurian clans such as the Fu, Fuca, Fugiya, Fuciri, Fulkuru, Fujuri and Fulha adopted 傅 or 富 as their Han surname.
