The Incheon Yi clan (Hangul: 인천 이씨, Hanja: 仁川
李氏) is a Korean clan. It traces its origin to Suro of Geumgwan Gaya and his
wife, Heo Hwang-ok, who are mentioned in the 13th-century Korean chronicle
Samguk Yusa.
King Suro was the founder of the Gaya confederacy, and his descendant, Kim
Yu-shin, was a Silla general who is renowned for unifying the Three Kingdoms
of Korea.
Gimhae Heo and Incheon Yi clans, trace their lineage to the legendary Queen
as the direct descendants of Heo Hwang-ok's children with Kim Suro.
