Travel Tips
Every Korean last name has a region associated with it.

According to a Korean website, Moon or 氍? comes from 雮弶(鍗楀钩), 雼劚(涓瑰煄), 鞓侅偘(铴冲北), 氤措牴(淇濆), 臧愳矞(鐢樻硥:鞎堧彊靻嶍槃), 鞝曥劆(鏃屽杽), 瓴办劚(绲愬煄), 臧滊牴(闁嬪), 臧曤(姹熼櫟) etc.... over 150 regions. However, it also states that unless it is from 臧愳矞(鐢樻硥) or 鞝曥劆(鏃屽杽), most likely it originated from 雮弶(鍗楀钩).

If you know where your last name 氍?came from, you can ask it in Yahoo Korea section. According to 1985 Korean census, there are 375,866 people with last name 氍? So you're not alone, and 氍?(Moon) is a pretty common last name for Koreans. Someone should be able to answer you there.

Unfortunately, you will need a Korean Citizen's ID to ask questions.

The website also states:
雮弶 氍?came from a Silla King. He appointed a servant with surname 氍?
臧愳矞 氍?came from one of 旯€鞎岇(閲戦柤鏅?'s descendant
鞝曥劆 氍?came from someone with last name 鞝?(鍏? chun/jun)
