Your First Korean Name
Let's learn a bit about how Korean names work before we make your own.
Family name comes first
In Korean, you say 김 민준 (Kim Min-jun), not "Min-jun Kim". The family name leads, the given name follows.
Given names are 2 syllables
Each syllable links to a hanja (한자) — a Chinese character with a meaning. Two characters, two meanings, one name.
Names carry wishes
Parents pick characters for what they hope the child becomes. Brightness, kindness, courage, wisdom.
Birthdays matter too
Traditional Saju (사주) uses your birth date to balance the five elements. Some characters fit your energy better than others.
Are you ready?
