Last name origin & meaning: Korean (Pyŏn): there are two Chinese characters for this
surname, born by two different groups of families. The larger of the
two groups is composed of two closely related clans. The other group
is said by some sources to be composed of 67 clans, but only three of
them can be documented with certainty, and 90% of this second group
are members of just one of those three clans.
