Donggo, a Manchu clan and surname, is often considered as one of the Eight Great Manchu Clans in Qing dynasty. Most of its members were descendants or kinsmen of Hohori, one of the Five Great Ministers who assisted Nurhaci in founding the Later Jin (後金開國五大臣). Originating from the Irgen Gioro clan of the Warka tribe, the family later settled at Donggo River, a Tunggiya River tributary, and became ruling chieftains of the area. Although numbering only nineteen households in the early period, the clan possessed twenty hereditary company commands within the Eight Banners. During the Qing dynasty, the families of Hohori, Fiyanggū, and Alanju were particularly prominent. The Donggo clan maintained close ties with the Irgen Gioro clan, and some members, including Alanju and Bulanju siblings, were also recorded under that surname. Since descended from the Gioro clan, Donggo clansmen also shared the same anecdote of alleged connections to the House of Zhao of the Northern Song dynasty. After the fall of the Qing, descendants generally adopted Chinese surnames such as Dong (董), Zhao (趙), He (何), Tang (唐), E (鄂), Cheng (成), Xi (席), Tong (佟), Peng (彭), Qi (齊), Hong (紅), and Xu (許).
