父之純，為東平萬戶府參議，夜夢謁孔子廟，得賜嘉果，已而孔孫生，因丐名於衍聖公，遂名今名。 His father Zhichun served as deliberator of the Dongping Myriarch Office. One night he dreamed of visiting the Temple of Confucius and receiving fine fruit; when Kongsun was born shortly afterward, he asked the Duke Who Continues the Sage for a name, and received the name Kongsun.
