| | Aisin Gioro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The word aisin means gold in the Manchu language, but the meaning of gioro is unknown, probably surname. |
 | | It has been suggested that Nurhaci, the founder of the Later Jin dynasty, added aisin to his original clan name of gioro, perhaps at the same time he proclaimed his new dynasty in 1616, but there is no definitive evidence to support this proposition. |
 | | It is notable that the Jin dynasty (jin means gold in Chinese) of the Jurchens, ancestors of the Manchus, was known as aisin gurun, and that the Qing dynasty was initially named amaga aisin gurun, or Later Jin dynasty. |
