Heo

Heo is a family name in Korea. It is also often spelled as Huh or Hur, or less commonly as Her or Hue. In South Korea in 1985, out of a population of between roughly 40 and 45 million, there were approximately 264,000 people surnamed Heo. The name is also found in North Korea. The character used for the name (許) means to permit or advocate. The Heos traditionally trace their ancestry to Queen Heo Hwang-ok, the wife of King Suro of Geumgwan Gaya, one of ancient kingdoms in Korea. Her native kingdom is believed to be located in India. She bore ten sons, two of whom retained the Queen's name. The Heos are traditionally considered distant kins of the Gimhae Kim clan, who trace their ancestry to the other sons of King Suro.
