How To Use Korean Names Accurately
Korean names need Hangul and meaning context, not just a romanised spelling. A Korean given name often has two syllables, meanings can change with hanja, and the family name normally comes first in Korean order. Use this page for browsing, then open the Korean name generator preset when you want a fresh set to compare and save.
Name order
Korean names normally put the family name first, then the given name. Kim Seo-yun is Kim-family plus the given name Seo-yun; Park Min-jun is Park-family plus the given name Min-jun, although English contexts may reverse the order.
Hangul and Hanja
Hangul shows the Korean spelling. Hanja is optional in modern use, but many meanings come from the selected hanja characters, so one romanised name can have several accurate meanings.
Romanisation
English spellings vary. Lee and Yi, Park and Bak, Seo and Suh, Seo-yun and Seo-yoon, or Seo-jun and Seo-joon may all appear depending on family preference, passport spelling, or romanisation style.
For a baby
Treat this as research, not final naming authority. For real-life naming, check Hangul, hanja, surname pairing, family preference, and local pronunciation with fluent Korean speakers.
For a character
Choose the family name and given name together. A Korean character named Kim Ji-woo reads differently from Ji-woo Kim, and the wrong order can make otherwise good research look careless.
For pronunciation
The pronunciation guide is a practical English approximation. Korean vowel length, consonant release, and local accents still need native-speaker checking when the name will be spoken publicly.

FAQ
How do Korean names work?
Korean names normally place the family name first and the given name second. Many family names are one syllable, while many given names are two syllables, such as Kim Seo-yun or Park Min-jun.
Do Korean names use Hangul or Hanja?
Hangul is the Korean writing system used for the spelling. Hanja may be used for many given-name meanings, but the exact meaning depends on the chosen characters, so one romanised spelling can have several accurate meanings.
What are common Korean surnames?
Kim, Lee or Yi, Park or Bak, Choi, and Jeong or Jung are among the most common Korean surnames. Many Korean surnames also have clan histories, so the family-name spelling alone is not the whole context.
Are Korean names gendered?
Some Korean given names lean feminine or masculine in current usage, but others are unisex. Hanja choice, family preference, generation syllables, and real-world usage all affect how a name is read.
Why do Korean names have different English spellings?
Romanisation varies by system, family preference, passport spelling, and older English conventions. That is why Lee and Yi, Jeong and Jung, Seo and Suh, or Park and Bak can refer to similar Korean spellings.
