	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Clan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		A clan is a group of people united by kinship and descent, which is defined by perceived descent from a common ancestor.
		Still other clans are bilateral, consisting of all the descendants of the apical ancestor through both the male and female lines; the clans of Scotland are one example.
		Often, the distinguishing factor is that a clan is a smaller part of a larger society such as a tribe, a chiefdom, or a state.

		The founder of the Fujiwara clan, a man originally named Nakatomi no Kamako, received his new name from the field (in Japanese “hara/wara”) of wisteria (fuji) near his estate.
		In Heian Japan, many times the pre-numerical element was keyed to the clan from which the bearer hailed.
		The order of kanji placement could have gone either way, but one given a kanji which is first in his godfather’s name seldom puts it second in his; one could, however, be given the second kanji instead.
