Gyeongju Seol clan

Gyeongju Sol clan (Korean: 경주 설씨; Hanja: 慶州 偰氏) is a Korean clan. Their Bon-gwan is in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province. As of 2000, the clan had a membership of 3269 people. Their founder was Sol Xun, a descendant of a member of the Sol clan. That clan had an ancestor who was the Uyghur Khaganate's Finance Minister. They were naturalized in Goryeo, so as to not get involved with the Red Turban Rebellion. Their clan's name, "Sol" (偰) originated from the fact that its ancestors lived on the Xueyanhe River (偰輦河江).[1]
