Not many people know the true history of the Chow surname. The Chow surname is a Chinese surname for people from the Chou Dynasty, its main lineage. The name Chow means "to encircle" in ancient China. Otherwise, in ancient pre-history times, it was the shortened form of Jehovah (God's name). The Chow people are ancient Hebrews that migrated to China around the 1700s or 1800s BC. They like all people were sinocized into the Han race of China. In ancient times, the Shang, Chou, and Han Dynasties were run by the same family from the Middle East, who had a more advanced degree of civilization, than the Hamitic Han people of China. Today, after thousands of years of man's existance, all Chinese are considered to be one race of people.
