After his state was extinguished by the state of [[Chu (state)|Chu]], Ti and his family lived in the south side of the Mount Ouyu ({{lang|zh|歐余山}}, currently called Mount Sheng {{lang|zh|升山}} in [[Huzhou]], [[Zhejiang]]). In [[Classical Chinese]], the south side of a mountain or the north bank of a river is called Yang ({{lang|zh|陽}}), thus the Ti family was called Ouyang. He was called Marquis of Ouyang Village ({{lang|zh|歐陽亭侯}}). Traditionally, Ti's ancestry can be traced through his father Wujiang, the King of Yue, to the semi-legendary [[Yu the Great]] ({{lang|zh|大禹}}). According to a 2013 study, Ouyang was the 169th most common name in China, being shared by around 910000 people or 0.068% of the total population, with the province with the most people with the name being [[Hunan]]. {{main|Baiyue}} ===Geographical origins=== In terms of distribution Ouyangs have mostly been confined to southern China, especially the areas of southern [[Jiangxi]], central [[Hubei]] and eastern [[Henan]], with smaller pockets in [[Guangdong]], [[Sichuan]], [[Hunan]] and [[Guangxi]].<ref name="歐陽">{{Cite web|url=http://news.ltn.com.tw/news/society/paper/150665|title=本"姓"難移 歐陽後代爭復姓|language=zh-tw|author=李開菊|publisher=《自由時報》|date=2007-08-28|access-date=2015-01-27|archive-date=2015-01-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150128132215/http://news.ltn.com.tw/news/society/paper/150665|url-status=live}}</ref> ===Notable clans=== The most prominent of the Ouyang clans historically was undoubtedly that of [[Yongfeng County|Yongfeng]] in [[Jiangxi]], which produced a number of scholars who reached prominence in the imperial bureaucracy. Genealogical lineages and family trees have been established for a number of Ouyang clans around China, showing migration patterns from the Song to the [[Qing dynasty]]. In [[Vietnam]], this clan was often shortcut as '''Âu''' (歐), '''Dương''' (阳) or '''Dương'''/'''Giàng''' (陽). ==Notable people== *[[Catalina Ouyang]], American artist *Ouyang Feiying, 1930s Shanghai singer *[[Ouyang Fei Fei|Ouyang Feifei]], Taiwanese-Japanese singer *[[Ouyang Nana]], Taiwanese musician, singer and actress *[[Gen1es|Ouyang Didi]], Taiwanese singer and member of girl group [[Gen1es]] *[[Ouyang Xiadan]], CCTV News reporter *[[Ouyang Xiu]], Song dynasty scholar *[[Ouyang Xun]], Tang dynasty scholar *[[Ouyang Zhan]], Tang dynasty scholar *[[:zh:欧阳逸冰|Ouyang Yibing]], Chinese film scripter *[[Ouyang Ziyuan]], Chinese cosmochemist and geochemist, chief scientist in charge of the [[Chinese Lunar Exploration Program]] *Âu Dương Quân, Vietnamese footballer of [[Hoang Anh Gia Lai – Arsenal JMG Academy|JMG Academy]] *Âu Dương Thanh, former Vietnamese footballer of [[Customs F.C.]] *[[Au Yeung Yiu Chung]], Hong Kong [[Association football|footballer]] *[[Bobby Au-yeung]], Hong Kong actor *Mieke Oeyang, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Cyber Policy<ref>https://www.defense.gov/About/Biographies/Biography/article/2505290/mieke-eoyang/ {{Bare URL inline|date=August 2024}}</ref> *[[Susanna Au-yeung]], Hong Kong actress and acupuncturist *[[Elsie Ao Ieong]], Macau [[Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture]] *[[Stephen Oyoung]], Chinese-American actor *[[Jimmy O.
