Hong (Korean Name)
Hong is the common English spelling of 홍, in hanja, it means "wide" or "big". Clans As with all Korean family names, the holders of the Hong surname are divided into different patrilineal clans, or lineages, based on their bon-gwan, ancestral seat. Most such clans trace their lineage back to a specific founder. This system was at its height under the yangban aristocracy of the Joseon Dynasty, but it remains in use today. There are approximately 241 such clans claimed by South Koreans. Historically, there had been 10 clans known but currently there are four clans remaining. Hong clans include Namyang, Pungsan, Bugye, and Hongju. Namyang clan The biggest clan is Namyang clan () whose founder was Hong Eun-yeol in the Goryeo Dynasty. Another founder of this clan was Hong Seon-haeng. Thus, the Namyang Hong clan is unique among Korean surnames in that it includes two separate unrelated family lines. Pungsan clan All ancestry of Andong's Pungsan Hong () may be traced to the Gory ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
