Korean Name
Korean names are names that place their origin in, or are used in, Korea. A Korean name in the modern era typically consists of a surname followed by a given name, with no middle names. A number of Korean terms for names exist. For full names, (), (), or () are commonly used. When a Korean name is written in Hangul, there is usually no space between the surname and the given name. Most Korean surnames consist of a single syllable, although multisyllabic surnames exist (e.g. Namgung). In South Korea, upon marriage, both partners keep their full names, but children inherit the father's surname unless otherwise specified during the marriage registration process. Koreans have been historically grouped into Korean clans. Each clan is identified by a (; birthplace of the clan's founder) and the surname of the founder of the clan (with descendency determined patrilineally).

Heo Jun
Heo Jun (; 1539 – October 9, 1615) was a Korean physician who served as the royal chief physician of the Naeuiwon during the reigns of King Sejong (1597–1608) and King Gwanghaegun (1608–1623) of the Korea dynasty. Biography Childhood and youth In 1539, Heo Jun was born in the Gangseo District of Seoul into an affluent military family. Although he belonged to the Yangcheon Heo clan—a wealthy and respected household at that time—he faced discrimination from Yangban, the traditional ruling class, because his mother was a concubine.

Social status and hierarchical position were significant factors in the then-Confucian society of Korea, influencing quality of life, education, and recognition. During the Joseon period, illegitimate children of aristocrats were classified as chungins and could not inherit their father's Yangban status. Jungin, or "middle people," were a social class of technicians and administrators, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
