Park Hyek-Gu-Sae is the first king of Silla. The meaning of Hyek-Gu-Sae is 'bright king'. The queen was Al-Young. And his historical name is Guseogan(the meaning is just king). He is the ancestor of Park. Almost people know his birth story. When Silla was called 'Jinhan', in the forest, one man saw the horse which was kneel down. the horse was crying so he went to it. But when he arrived, there was egg remained. He broke the egg and the little child came out. People saw that weird situation and brought him to temple. They washed the child. After that, his body was shining, animals were dancing, sky and ground was vibrating and sun and moon was getting brighter. This bright light is the reason of Hyek-Gu-Sae's name. He is called as 'King Bulgunae'. His family name 'Park's mean is big egg. Whole meaning of name is 'Bright'. Hyek-Gu-Sae was popular as genius. He become a king when he was 13 wear old. And he changed country's name. In 61 year after he established his country, he flew to the sky and hid himself. His body went up to the sky dancing. And again, it was shattered and landed on the ground. People tried to clean up them but a snake hindered that. So people covered body parts separately, There was five mausoleum. It is called as 'snake tomb'. This is the story of Park Hyek-Gu-Sae. It is weird but this is a classic story of real king in korea.

 My family name’s History

There are about 300 kinds of family names in Korea. This is called ‘sung’

in Korea and all made using Chinese characters. Among them, Kim, Lee,

Park, Choi, Jung are the most in order, and Lim is the tenth. Almost all of

them are composed of single syllable, but sometimes there are two syllable

family names like DongBang or Sunwoo. My family name is Lim. My friends

pronounce it as im, it’s written in rim in English. This is because it is

pronounced as rim as a Chinese character. this chinese character written

as 林, it means tree. Most of Lim use this Chinese character. But having

the same gender is not a family. This is again divided into the ‘Bone-goan’,

which means that the original ancestor is the same. where first start my

family name is Buan that is Jeollabuk-do Buan. My original ancestor is Lim

gye mi. There is no many information about him, but it is assumed that

history of Lim is beginning from Chinese. Not many people of my ancestors

are historically very famous but I want to introduce a person named 'Lim

jong'. He was born in Chung-nam in 1554, and has a high position by

earnestly and hard work. He stepped out of position because of some

unexpected accident in the middle period. The reason was unknown.

However, he took great care of his mother and father, and he studied hard

all his life, so everyone around him respected him. After he was old, he

worked in the area where he lived. Later, his efforts to his village became

known then he received a reward from the king after he died. Though he

does not save the country or make great achievements, I respect his

righteous attitude and want to be inspired.

Thank you for reading. I’m sorry It’s hard to understanding

There are many first name ‘Kim’ in the Korea. I’m Gyeongju Kim inter alia. Before searching the Gyeongju Kim, I didn’t know about that anything even my family.

Our progenitor is Algi Kim. He lived in the Shinar era and was born in the Silim region.

What is most interesting is that he was born gold box. The gold box hunged on the branch and a white chicken was crowing under the tree.

When opening the box, a baby was in there and stood up suddenly. People called him Algi, that mean is a baby.

He was not a king. He was just assistant but he is progenitor in the Shinar era. But Algi became a progenitor of Shinar because 38kings of 56 Shinar kings was descendants of Algi. 

Also there are many group in the Gueongju Kim but I don’t know about my group.

 

I'm so interested about my progenitor. And I think that I have a useful time.

 

Gimhae Kim is most common and second is Gyeongju Kim.

Kim yeon ah is also Gyeongiu Kim.

<History of Kim>

‘Kim’ is the most common surname in the Korean Peninsula, accounting for nearly 22% of the population. Kim is written as "김" gim in Korean. ("김" solely by itself has no specific meaning unless specified by its underlying hanja or derived from context.) The hanja for Kim can also be transliterated as Hangul: "metal, iron, gold".

The Gyeongju Kims trace their descent from the ruling family of Silla. The founder of this clan is said to have been Kim Alji, an orphan adopted by King Talhae of Silla in the 1st century AD. Alji's seventh-generation descendant was the first member of the clan to take the throne, as King Michu of Silla in the year 262.

This clan is also extremely populous. In the South Korean census of 2000, more than 1.7 million citizens claimed to be Gyeongju Kims.

Daebogong gimalji is a figure of the Silla Dynasty and the founder of Gyeongju. Although the Japanese are said to have hatched out of the egg race, there is a myth that he is descended from the Chinese version of Kim iljae. The descendants of Kim iljae, munmuwang, are based on the memorial stone monument, giminmun Temple, and gimmunwang Temple Site.
