草姓是中国的姓氏之一,现行较少见,读音为草[cǎo]。[1]据《姓氏考略》记载,其来源为周代官名草人的后裔,属于以官职为氏。[1]此姓在旧本《百家姓》中未见收录,大陆姓氏排序中亦未进入前一千位。[2]

起源[edit]

草姓主要出自官职。据《姓氏考略》所述,周代设草人一职,《周礼·地官》列其职掌,「掌土化之法」,即负责改良土壤的农事官吏,故《姓氏考略》称草姓为草人之后。[1]长期担任此职者,以官名为氏,其后遂有草姓。[1]

文献对草姓人物的最早著录见于汉代,汉时有草中、草王桥(一作草玉桥)等人,二人之名见于《印薮》。[1][3]清代类书《古今图书集成》的氏族典专列草姓一部,其汇编引凌迪知《万姓统谱》,列传所收即汉代草中、草王桥两人,可与此相印证。[3]

迁徙与分布[edit]

草姓分布不广。现代已知的聚居点有北京,新疆塔城,山西大同、晋城,以及河北三河,台湾的台北、台中等地。[1]《续通志·氏族略》收录此姓。[1]汉典释「草」字亦列姓氏一义,举汉代草中为例。[4]此外,元代有草地里,明代陕西镇安有草氏,见诸姓氏书所记。[3]

著名人物[edit]

草中:汉代人,见于《印薮》及《古今图书集成》所引《万姓统谱》。[1][3]

草王桥:汉代人,与草中同时见录,又称草玉桥。[1][3]
