Yun (윤) is a common family name in Korea, which means "governor". The name is sometimes also transliterated as Yoon, Yune, Yiun, or Youn. According to the 2000 census, 948,600 people had the surname in South Korea.[1] It derives from the Chinese character 尹 also used for the Chinese surname Yǐn and Doãn in Vietnam.
The Papyeong (파평, 坡平) Yun clan, which has its seat in Papyeong-myeon, Paju City, is the most well-known and largest Yun clan.[2] The 2000 South Korean census found 221,433 households claiming membership in the Papyeong clan, with a total population of 713,947.[3]
In 2002, a mummified woman with an unborn fetus was discovered in the tomb of Yun Jeong-jeong, a member of the Papyeong Yun clan. It is believed she was the granddaughter of Yun Won-hyung, the brother of Queen Munjeong.[4]
Last ruling Empress, Empress Sunjeong of the Korean Empire, was from another Yoon (Yun) clan, Haepyeong Yun. The first Haepyeong Yoon was a person named Yoon GoonJeong (1046~1083) from the Goryeo Danasty. [5] According to the 2000 census, 26,000 people belong to this clan.[6]
When the tomb of Yoon Gwan was rediscovered in the 18th century, it sparked a 300-year-old family feud between the Yun and Sim Clan. The reason for the feud was because a member of the Sim clan was buried uphill from Yoon Gwan's tomb, destroying part of the original tomb in the process. The feud was finally settled in 2008.[7][8][9]
