won Name Meaning and History

Korean (Won): there are two Chinese characters for this surname. Although there is some dispute, the founder of the Won clan is believed by many to be Won Kyong, a Tang China scholar sent to Shilla in the mid 7th century. The other Won character has only one clan, the Wonju Won.
