As with all Korean family names, the holders of the Hong surname are divided into different patrilineal clans, or lineages, based on theirancestral seat. Most such clans trace their lineage back to a specific founder. This system was at its height under theyangban aristocracy of theJoseon 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

[edit]

The biggest clan is Namyang clan (Korean: 남양 홍씨;Hanja: 南陽 洪氏;RR: Namyang Hongssi) whose founder was Hong Eun-yeol in theGoryeo 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

[edit]

All ancestry ofAndong's Pungsan Hong (Korean: 풍산 홍씨;Hanja: 豊山 洪氏;RR: Pungsan Hongssi) may be traced to theGoryeo dynasty'sHong Ji-gyeong, later known as a great master of Korean classical verse in theJoseon Dynasty. The Pungsan Hong were known as yangban among yangbans.Hong Jin was a direct descendant of Hong Ji-gyeong.
