We all know about Debian, Fedora and Arch but what about the lesser known ones that are built from the ground up?

Slackware, Gentoo, the Mandriva family (OpenMandriva, Mageia, PCLinuxOS, ROSA, ALT Linux), Void, Alpine, Chimera, Venom, CRUX, Exherbo, Paldo, the PiSi family (PiSi Linux, old versions of Pardus), and Solus (eopkg is a fork of PiSi).

    the Mandriva family (OpenMandriva, Mageia, PCLinuxOS, ROSA, ALT Linux)

    Originally based on Red Hat Linux and the forks are obviously not built from the ground up either.

    In fact, any fork of anything is just outright against the premise of OP.
