Chong Name Meaning
Korean (Ch{ou}ng): there are three Chinese characters
used to represent the Ch{ou}ng surname. The clans that use two of
these characters are quite rare and are mostly found in Ch{ou}lla
province; their origins are obscure. The more common of the three
clans is the oldest and is widely distributed throughout the
peninsula. Only the clans which use this more common character will be
treated here. Some sources indicate that there are 215 separate
Ch{ou}ng clans, but only 32 of them can be documented. The earliest
and largest Ch{ou}ng clan began in 32 ad when Chibaekho, one
of the six ruling elders of pre-Shilla Korea, received the surname of
Ch{ou}ng from the Shilla King Yuri Isag{uu}m (ad
24–57). Ch{ou}ng is one of the most common Korean surnames.Chinese : variant of Zhuang.Chinese : Cantonese form of Zang 1.Chinese : variant of Zhong.Chinese
