The character used to write this surname, Radical 25, is also used for the Chinese surname now pronounced B\u01d4 in Standard Mandarin.[5] The largest Korean clan bearing this surname, the Myeoncheon Bok clan\u00a0[ko], claims common descent from Bok Ji-gyeom\u00a0[ko], one of the four generals who overthrew Gung Ye of the state of Taebong in 918 and installed King Taejo in his place as the first king of the Goryeo dynasty.[6]As a Swedish surname, Bok originated as an ornamental surname, from bok ‘beech’.[3]Bok is also a Slovenian surname, of unexplained origin.[3]Statistics[edit]In the Netherlands, there were 1,751 people with the surname Bok and five with the surname B\u00f3k as of 2007, up from 1,197 in 1947.[7]The 2000 South Korean Census found 8,644 people in 2,663 households with the surname Bok; 7,471 of those were members of the Myeoncheon Bok clan.[5]The 2010 United States Census found 738 people with the surname Bok, making it the 31,383rd-most-common name in the country. This represented an increase from 599 (35,522nd-most-common) in the 2000 Census. In the 2010 census, 73.71% of the bearers of the surname identified as White, and 21.41% as Asian.[8]Notable people with the surname[edit]Bart Bok (1906\u20131983), Dutch-born American astronomerBenjamin Bok (born 1995), Dutch chess grandmasterChip Bok (born 1952), American cartoonistChristian B\u00f6k (born 1966), Canadian experimental poetCurtis Bok (1897\u20131962), Pennsylvania Supreme Court justiceDerek Bok (born 1930), American lawyer and president of Harvard UniversityEdward Bok (1863\u20131930), Dutch-born American publisher, author, and editor of Ladies’ Home JournalErika B\u00f3k (fl.\u20091994\u20132011), Hungarian actressFrancis Bok (born 1979), Dinka tribesman and abolitionistBok Geo-il (born 1946), South Korean novelistGideon Bok (born 1966), American painterGordon Bok (born 1939), American folklorist and singer-songwriterHannes Bok (1914\u20131964), pen name of American illustrator Wayne WoodardHenri Bok (born 1950), Dutch bass clarinetistHilary Bok (born 1959), American author and professor of philosophyKenzie Bok (born 1989), American local politician in BostonMarike Bok (1943\u20132017), Dutch portrait painterMartijn Bok (born 1973), Dutch tennis playerMilo\u0161 Bok (born 1968), Czech composerPriscilla Fairfield Bok (1896\u20131975), American astronomerRichard Bok (born 1969), Singaporean soccer coachSissela Bok (born 1934), Swedish-born American philosopher and ethicistWillem Eduard Bok (1846\u20131904), Dutch-born South African Boer politicianWillem Eduard Bok Jr. (1880\u20131956), South African lawyer, son of the aboveSee also[edit]References[edit]^ Medhurst, Walter Henry (1832).
