Vũ (武) or Võ is a common Vietnamese surname that, through genealogy records, has been present in Vietnam since the 9th century.
[1][2] The Vũ surname originates from general Wǔ Hún (武浑) of the Tang Dynasty in Imperial China who was appointed governor of the Annan Protectorate (Northern Vietnam).
[6] It is believed that the Vũ family first originated in the Mộ Trạch village, Bình Giang district, Hải Dương province, Northern Vietnam.
[9] The Vũ Lords, also called the Bầu Lords (Nôm script: 主裒), is a general term referring to the generations of the Vũ family who ruled Tuyên Quang during the period of division between the North and South dynasties and the Trịnh-Nguyễn conflict in Vietnamese history.
[10] The Vũ family took advantage of the chaos to establish themselves in Tuyên Quang, opposing the ruling government in Thăng Long.
