There is no exact record of the origin of Jiao surname, but it is said that Jiao surname originated in ancient Shandong. According to Genealogy, Jiao originated in Shang Dynasty. After Zhou Wuwang destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the last Di Xin of the Shang Dynasty saw through his face and became a cicada. Later, a wizard named Jiao Heng was sent to find the cicada and successfully sealed it. In recognition of Jiao Heng's achievements, he changed his surname to Jiao as a souvenir. However, the authenticity of these records is difficult to verify, so the historical origin of Jiao surname is still controversial.
