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