Etymology 5
Sino-Korean word from 金 (“gold; metal”)
Kwon Inhan, a professor of Korean literature at Sungkyunkwan University, said that the pronunciation of 金 as a surname was changed from 금 (geum) to 김 (gim) because of the change in Chinese consonants. For more information, please refer to this link. Lua error in Module:parameters at line 828: Parameter 1 is not used by this template.
However, there is other theory explaining the shift of spelling from 금 (geum) to 김 (gim) as one of the naming taboo phenomenon during Goryeo's subjugation to the Jin dynasty.
