The name Maui means "hemp dress", and comes from the fact that he spent his whole life wearing clothes made of hemp linen.[1] His father surrendered Silla to Goryeo. After hearing the news, the prince fled to the southern mountains in Jeolla.[2] Currently, the Buan Kim clan and the T'ongch'ŏn Kim clan regard Prince Maui as their founding ancestor.[3]
