EspañolSIN (KOREAN NAME)
(Redirected from Pyeongsan Shin)
'Shin' is one of the few family names of the Korean people in Korea.
As with other Korean family names, the holders of the "Shin" family name are divided into various clans, each known by the name of a town or city, called ''bon-gwan'' in Korean. Usually that town or city is the one where the clan's founder lived.
One line of Shin is the Pyeongsan Shin, which makes up about 70% of all the populations with the name Shin using the Chinese character 申. The clan's founder was general Shin Sung-gyeom, who saved the life of Taejo of Goryeo in a disastrous battle with Hubaekje near present-day Daegu in the early 10th century. Taejo awarded General Shin, originally named Samneungsan without a family name, the clan name Pyeongsang Shin for his loyalty and bravery he showed in the battle. Other prominent members of this clan in more recent times include the 19th-century pansori writer Shin Jae-hyo.
Another well-known line is the Goryeong Shin, descended from Shin Suk Ju, who was one of the main scholars to work with King Sejong (세종대왕) in the making of Hangul. The Goryeong Shin makes up about 17% of all the populations with the name Shin using the Chinese character 申. Although the two clans, Pyeongsan Shin and Koryeong Shin, share the same Chinese character, they are unrelated in heritage. Another prominent member of the clan is Danjae Shin Chaeho, a 19th-century nationalist historian.
