Yong is a Korean family name, as well as a character in some Korean given names. As a family name, it may also be spelled Ryong. ==As a family name== Most hanja with the reading Yong are pronounced that way in all dialects of Korean. However, the character used to write the family name (, meaning "dragon"), is also read as Ryong and spelled as such in hangul (룡). This is the standard reading in North Korea and among Koreans in China. In a study by the National Institute of the Korean Language based on a sample of year 2007 applications for South Korean passports, it was found that 97% of people with this surname chose to have it spelled it in Latin letters as Yong, while 3% chose to spell it Young, and none spelled it Ryong. The 2000 South Korean Census found 14,067 people and 4,320 households with this family name. They identified with the following ''bon-gwan'' (the hometown of a clan lineage, not necessary the actual residence of the clan members): *Hongcheon (in what is today Gangwon-do, South Korea): 12,733 and 3,930 households *Gaeseong (in what is today South Pyongan Province, North Korea): 439 people and 130 households *Suwon (in what is today Gyeonggi-do, South Korea): 264 people and 72 households *Gwangju (in what is today South Korea): 206 people and 59 households *Yongin (in what is today Gyeonggi-do, South Korea): 174 people and 54 households *Paju (in what is today Gyeonggi-do, South Korea): 164 people and 54 households *Other or unreported ''bon-gwan'': 87 people and 21 households 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「Yong (Korean name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
