Gu's family comes from South Gu and North Gu. These two Gu surnames, one originated in the north and the other originated in the south, and later generations called them "South Gu" and "North Gu". Today, when people surnamed Gu talk about their origins, they still say "looking south" and "looking north".

After Gu's surname, "North Gu" did not develop as well as "South Gu", and South Gu soon became the most popular surname in Huiji (now Wuxian, Suzhou). During the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties, they were called Huiji four surnames together with Lu, Zhu and Zhang.

Because Gu's surname mainly originated from and grew up in Huiji, Huiji became one of the counties with Gu's name. Later, the Gu family moved to Wuling (now Wuling West, Suzhou) and developed rapidly, so Wuling became another county of Gu family.
