Korean families choose the hanja (Chinese characters) for a name — the same name can be written with different ones. This shows one common choice.
Your Korean name is three Hangul blocks. Learn every letter in it — Hangul takes about an hour, free.
How Korean names work
Most Korean names have three syllables: a one-syllable family name first (김 Kim, 이 Lee, 박 Park …), then a two-syllable given name. Many given names are made of two hanja, each chosen for its meaning — 하은 (河恩) is “river” + “grace”. Some names are native Korean words, like 하늘 (sky).
Your result is just for fun — the same name and birthday always give the same name. Want your own name in Korean letters instead? Try Your name in Korean.
한국어
한국 이름은 보통 성 한 글자 + 이름 두 글자예요. 이름 두 글자에는 뜻을 담은 한자를 고르는 일이 많고, 「하늘」처럼 고유어 이름도 있어요. 같은 이름이라도 한자는 집마다 다를 수 있어요.
