Not flame for Irish people "Kelly" is prole as fuck whereas "Kelley" is prestigious since the latter means your ancestors were rich enough to afford the extra "e" in the name. Also all of the Norman Irish surnames are prestigious (e.g. "Fitzgerald").

Prestigious Korean Names:

There are different clans for each surname, so the most prestigious is probably the Jeonju Lee's, who are descendents of the Yi Dynasty family of Choson Kingdom from 1300s to 1900s.

The Gimhae Kims are the most prevalent, but are pretty TTT until the modern era, although by sheer force of numbers they had the most number of people that passed the civil service exams (You had to pass this to be selected for office, and families held noble status by passing this once every 3 generations or something. But most ended up just being pay for play by the end)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwageo

There are a lot of Andong Kims but these are split- the later Andong Kims, which only number 50,000 probably are the most prestigious. They were originally part of the founding nobility of the Koryo dynasty in the 900s, and then basically ran the country in the 1800s as the Royal Yi family's consorts. Probably the most famous clan in Korean history next to the Yi (Lees).

Gyungjoo Kims are also prestigious - they were the royal family of the Silla, one of the three ancient kingdoms of Korea that took power in the southeast. They say they originated in the 3rd century but most likely it's from the 6th. Really numerous today, but still prestigious from the lineage alone

The most prole surnames are said to be Cheon, Bang, Ji, Choo, Ma, Gol and Pi, which are said to be former slave names. But in reality a lot of the larger clans have slaves/proles that bought into it when the class system in Korea collapsed at the end of the 19th century
