<Ancestor's history>
Korean last name is based on location. In my case, location of my last name is Yeong-yang.
The name of founder is Nam min. His real name is Kim chung. When he came from Japan by ship.
His ship met the typhoon and ship was broken. He drifted to Jukdo and go to live to Yeong-yang of Silla.
He came from Yeo-nam of China, so the king gave him to last name ‘Nam’. So he change his last name, Kim to Nam.
