Aristocratic family names

[edit]

From the late ancient era onward, the family name (Myōji/ miêu tự or danh tự ) had been commonly used by samurai to denote their family line instead of the name of the ancient clan that the family line belongs to (uji-na/ thị danh or honsei/ bổn tính ), which was used only in the official records in the Imperial court.Kugefamilies also had used their family name (Kamei/ gia danh ) for the same purpose. Each of samurai families is called "[family name] clan ( thị )" as follows and they must not be confused with ancient clan names. The list below is a list of various aristocratic families whose families served asShugo,Shugodai,Jitō,andDaimyo
