National Kimberly Day History
Kim is the most popular and well-known name in Korea, despite the fact that it is also used as an English name. In actuality, 20% of South Koreans are related to someone by the name of Kim. Ten million persons would be included in the total. The historical significance of the Kims provides an explanation for this “coincidence.” In the Silla kingdom, a family by the name of Kim—which means “gold”—rose to prominence and ruled Silla for about 700 years.
For many centuries, only the royal and aristocratic families of Korea used surnames. During the Goryeo dynasty, this situation regarding the granting of surnames evolved into a sign of the king’s favour.
Before the class system was abolished in 1894 and the Japanese occupiers forced Koreans to adopt surnames, some commoners in the late Joseon dynasty utilized family names for social and economic advantage. It is a fact that names for illustrious lineages like the Kims, Lees, or Parks were frequently chosen by commoners.
Even said, not everyone who is a Kim by inheritance is the same. The clan, a group whose surname denotes a shared geographical origin, is the fundamental unit of the traditional Korean kinship system.
As a result, several Kims can trace their ancestry to various locations, most notably Gimhae. The man known as the founder Kim and the founder of the ancient Korean kingdom of Gaya was born in the city in the southeastern region. There are about 300 other Kim clans, some of which are from Gyeongju, Andong, which includes two Kim clans, and Gwangsan.
