遠祖沒諾幹，唐至德中，事鎮州節度使王武俊為騎將。 His distant ancestor Mo Nuogan served as a cavalry commander under Wang Wujun, military governor of Zhenzhou, during the Zhide reign of Tang.

武俊嘉其勇幹，畜為假子，號王五哥，其後子孫以王為氏。 Wujun admired his courage and competence, took him as an adoptive son, and called him Fifth Brother Wang; his descendants thereafter adopted Wang as their clan surname.
