Siheung-dong

Siheung-dong () is a dong (neighbourhood) of Geumcheon District, Seoul, South Korea.

==Overview== According to the Geography Section of the Goryeosa, the name "Siheung" (始興) was first officially recorded in 991 during the reign of King Seongjong of Goryeo. The term "Siheung" is interpreted to mean "to rise," "to extend," or "to become foremost." The earlier name for the region, "Ingbeolno" (仍伐奴), dates back to the Goguryeo period. The syllable "Ingbeol" is thought to have undergone phonetic transformation to "Neum," signifying "extension" (延長), while "No" is believed to be a phonetic rendering of "Nae," meaning "earth" or "plain." This suggests a semantic continuity between the names Siheung and Ingbeolno.
