So, also spelled Soh, is a Korean family name and an element in Korean given names. Its meaning depends on the hanja used to write it. ==Family name== The Korean surname So is normally written with either of two hanja, indicating different lineages: * (되살아날 소 ''doesaranal so'', 차조기 소 ''chajogi so''), originally used for the Chinese family name Su. The largest ''bon-gwan'' is Jinju. This is the more common of the two lineages; the 2000 South Korean census found 39,552 people with this family name, belonging to 12,270 households. Most were located in Seoul (9,494), Jeollabuk-do (8,579), or Gyeonggi-do (7,144). * (땅 이름 소 ''ddang ireum so'', 성씨 소 ''seongssi so''), originally used for the Chinese family name Shao. The largest ''bon-gwan'' is Pyongsan, whose members claim descent from Myeongjong of Goryeo. This is the less common of the two lineages; the 2000 South Korean census found 9,904 people with this family name, belonging to 3,096 households. Most were also located in Seoul (2,424), Gyeonggi-do (2,101), or Jeollabuk-do (1,189).〔 * (꺼질 소 ''ggeojil so''): originally used for the Chinese family name Xiao. The 2000 South Korean census found one person with this surname, living in Jeju-do, who was not a member of a household. There were also an additional 70 people who wrote their surname with the same hanja, but pronounced it Cho (초) instead; 39 of them lived in Jeju-do as well.〔 In a study by the National Institute of the Korean Language based on 2007 application data for South Korean passports, it was found that 91% of people with this surname spelled it in Latin letters as So in their passports, while 9% spelled it Soh. Koreans with these family names include: *So Hyun-kyung (born 1965), South Korean television screenwriter *So Chan-whee (born Kim Kyoung-hee, 1972), South Korean singer *So Ji-sub (born 1977), South Korean actor *So Yoo-jin (born 1981), South Korean actress *So Yi-hyun (born Jo Woo-jung, 1984), South Korean actress *Chunghee Sarah Soh, South Korean-born American anthropologist 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「So (Korean name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
