My last is Oh which is translated in Chinese as 吳.
Does that mean my ancestors a from the Chinese wu state?

are you korean?
this is the chinese name:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_(surname)

but since you read it as Oh, this is your name:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_(surname)

if you were chinese with that name i would say your ancestors were most likely from the Wu state but for the korean version it seems less likely. the wiki article gives an explanation but the korean part seems more like a legend to me:

"In the 13th century B.C., the state of Zhou (which will later become the Zhou Dynasty) was ruled by Tai Wang (King Tai of Zhou). His surname was originally Ji (姬). He had three sons: Taibo, Zhongyong, and Jili. King Tai of Zhou favored the youngest son, Jili to inherit the reins of power, therefore Taibo and his brother Zhongyong voluntarily left Zhou with a group of followers and headed southeast where they established the state of Wu. Taibo and Zhongyong's descendants eventually adopted Wu (吳) as their surname.[1][2] The state of Wu, which later claimed to be a kingdom of its own, was best known for its military prowess as Sun Tzu, the author of the famed book The Art of War, was the country's general serving under King Helü of Wu. King Helu is considered to be one of the Five Hegemons of China during the Spring and Autumn period.

One of their descendants named Wu Ch'om migrated to Korea from China during the reign of Shilla's King Jijeung (500-514 AD), and is the ancestor of all 16 Korean "Oh" clans."

the same "mythical" legend is also found in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_(surname)
your impatience can't even let you finish a wiki page.

Since you're korean, it's expected for you to can't even read your own name in chink character, i'll spare you a chink wikipage.
Since we're in 4chan, here is a Jap wiki page on korea's clan of family names.
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:朝鮮の氏族
joseon's family name genesis is actually well documented, you're most probably a ABK who can't even read korean for not knowing about your family name.

Wu is the shortened form of Gou/Gong Wu a barbarian polity that waged war against Yue,Chu and the descendants of the Huai Yi.

Wu became synonymous with the south and was revived as a geopolitical term.

Chances are your ancestors either came directly from the lower Yangzi,forged a origin story to claim a prestigious foreign ancestor or bought/adopted their surname from a Yangban clan.
