Heo Hwang-ok Heo Hwang-ok was a princess who travelled from the ancient Indian kingdom of Ayodhya, or Ayuta, to Korea. She arrived on a boat and married Suro of Gaya in the year 48 CE. She was the first queen of Geumgwan Gaya. Information about her comes almost entirely from a few short passages in the Samguk Yusa, an 11th-century Korean chronicle. (references)
Heo Jeong Heo Jeong (1896-1989) was the prime minister of South Korea during the late First and Second Republics. He also headed a caretaker government for a brief time following the 1960 April Revolution which overthrew the First Republic. (references)
Heo Jun Heo Jun (1546-1615) was a court physician during the reign of King Seonjo of Joseon Dynasty in Korea. He was appointed as a court physician at the age of 29. He wrote a number of medical texts, but his most significant achievement is Dong Ui bo Gam, which is often noted as the defining text of Korean traditional medicine. The work spread to China and Japan, where it is still regarded as one of the classics of Oriental medicine today. Although Heo Jun worked extensively with the royal family, he put a great emphasis on making treatment methods accessible and comprehensible to common people. He found natural herb remedies that were easily attainable by commoners in Korea. Furthermore, he wrote the names of the herbs using the simple hangul letters instead of using more difficult hanja (Chinese characters), which most commoners did not understand. (references)

Revised Romanization Heo

Heo is a Korean family name that is the same as last names Hur and Huh (name) in Korean. In South Korea in 1985, out of a population of between roughly 40 and 45 million, there were approximately 264,000 Heos. 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. She bore ten sons, two of whom retained the Queen's name. The Heos are traditionally considered distant kins of the Kims, who trace their ancestry to the other sons of King Suro.

Clans

As with most other Korean family names, there are many Heo clans, including the Gimhae clan and the Yangchon clan. Each clan consists of individual Heo families. Even within each clan, people in different families are not necessarily related to each other. These distinctions are important, since Korean law used to prohibit intermarriage in the same clan, no matter how remote the relationship; now, however, only those in a relationship of second cousins or closer may not marry.

As with other Korean family names, the Heo clans are distinguished by the place from which they claim to originate.
