It is important to correct the misconception by some people that Ngcoyas are Madiba or Dlomo. This absolutely incorrect. Madiba or Dlomo are from the Thembu line of origin and Ngcoya are from the Mpondo line of origin. Madiba in Ngcoya clan is lightly used like Thombela which is derived from 'Thombel'entabeni' as Madiba is derived from 'Madib'udonga luqhekeka'.
Ngcoya was the son of Bhala, the King of AmaMpondo. Amongst, Bhala's wives, MaGqubutshe, gave birth to a son and other wives said "Uyagcoya wena uzele indodana - happy are you who gave birth to a son". The son was then named Ngcoya. The huts of a man had names and belonged to the different wives. When the wives started their severed homestead, they would carry along the names of their huts. MaGqubutshe's hut was called eBhukadeni.
It is also important to note that Ngcoya is the descendant of Bhala, Gangatha, Cabe, Ncindise, Msiza, Mpondo, Njanya, Sibiside, Dlemini and so on.
One will notice that many Mpondo clans share the ancestors. For example, amaKhonjwayo amaNyawuza, amaKhwetshube, are the descendants of Bhala and all his forefathers above.

The House of Aisin-Gioro was a Manchu clan that ruled the Later Jin dynasty (1616–1636), the Qing dynasty (1636–1912) and Manchukuo (1932–1945). Under the Ming dynasty, members of the Aisin Gioro clan served as chiefs of the Jianzhou Jurchens, one of the three major Jurchen tribes at this time. Qing bannermen passed through the gates of the Great Wall in 1644, defeated the short-lived Shun dynasty and the Southern Ming dynasty, and gained control of China proper. The dynasty reached its zenith under the Qianlong Emperor, who reigned from 1735 to 1796. This reign was followed by a century of gradual decline.

The clan name is also sometimes used as an exclamation by members of that clan.

The Shilluk Kingdom, dominated by the Shilluk people, was located along the left bank of the White Nile river in what is now South Sudan and southern Sudan. Its capital and royal residence was in the town of Fashoda. According to Shilluk folk history and neighboring accounts, the kingdom was founded by Nyikang, who probably lived in the second half of the 15th century. As the only Nilotic people, the Shilluk managed to establish a centralized kingdom that reached its apogee in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, during the decline of the northern Funj Sultanate. In the 19th century, the Shilluk were affected by military assaults from the Ottoman Empire, resulting in the destruction of the kingdom in the early 1860s. The Shilluk king is currently not an independent political leader, but a traditional chieftain within the governments of South Sudan and Sudan. The current Shilluk king is His Majesty Reth Kwongo Dak Padiet who ascended to the throne in 1993.

Detailed anthropological and sociological studies have been made about customs of patrilineal inheritance, where only male children can inherit. Some cultures also employ matrilineal succession, where property can only pass along the female line, most commonly going to the sister's sons of the decedent; but also, in some societies, from the mother to her daughters. Some ancient societies and most modern states employ egalitarian inheritance, without discrimination based on gender and/or birth order.
