庶孼), as a term referring to children with a yangban father and a concubine
mother. Does the literal meaning of the phrase--"one name"-- relate directly to
the status of the child? Is it a reference to the fact that only one parent is
legitimate? Also, was this term used for daughters as well?
Thanks in advance.
