Korean given names traditionally combine two hanja syllables, each chosen for a meaning that expresses a hope for the child — wisdom, beauty, brightness, or strength. This tool draws on genuine Korean names and shows each with its romanization, hangul, and hanja meaning.
How it works
Each name is tagged by gender and stored with its Revised Romanization, hangul spelling, and meaning. When you choose a gender and generate, the tool filters to matching names, shuffles them with an unbiased Fisher–Yates pass, and shows your requested count. Korean names read family-name-first: a given name like Min-jun (민준) follows a surname such as Kim, giving Kim Min-jun.
Tips and notes
- Two-syllable given names — Seo-yeon (서연), Ji-ho (지호) — let each hanja syllable add its own meaning.
- The same hangul can map to different hanja with different meanings, so the written character matters as much as the sound.
- Place your single-syllable family name (Kim, Lee, Park) before the given name to form the full Korean name.
