Abstract
Murong tribe was a branch of the Xianbei, and it was a powerful faction that established dynasties such as Former Yan(前燕) and Later Yan(後燕). Because of this, many scholars have been interested in their history and many studies have been conducted from an early age. However, research on their identity and origin is still lacking.
 In particular, many scholars have attempted to analyze the meaning of ‘Murong’ used as their tribal name and surname. However until today scholar's opinions are divided and there is no established theory, so it has not been completely historically verified. Therefore, in this paper I summarized the existing research history on the meaning of Murong and looked at the shortcomings of the existing research results.
 And I presented my own new view on the meaning of Murong. In other words, unlike the claims of existing scholars it is confirmed that ‘Murong’ is a transliteration of the word ‘Buyan’, which has the meaning of virtue, goodness, and blessing in the Altaic language world.
