The Gimhae Kim clan (Korean: 김해 김씨; Hanja: 金海金氏) is one of the Korean clans. This clan traces their origin to Suro of Geumgwan Gaya. King Suro was the founder of Gaya confederacy, and his descendant, Kim Yu-sin is renowned for unifying the Silla polity. It was considered a commoner surname.[2]

More than six million present day Koreans, especially from Gimhae Kim, Heo and Lee (Yi) clans associate their Bon-gwan (geo-biological lineage roots) to Gimhae, in the South Gyeongsang Province of South Korea,[3] and these clans place restrictions on marriage with each other due to the shared ancestors. Today, the Gimhae Kim clan is the largest clan group among them.[3] The Gimhae Kim and Gimhae Heo clans, descend from the two sons of King Suro where the latter used their mother, Queen Heo Hwang-ok's surname, instead of their father's.

One of the dominant branch of Gimhae Kim clan is Samhyunpa-branch.

Origin

The Gimhae Kim clan's founder, according to legend, was Gim Suro, whose wife was the legendary Queen Heo Hwang-ok.[4]

Heo Hwang-ok bore 12 children. According to the Samguk Sagi, Kim Yu-sin was the 12th grandchild of Suro.
