Naming Korean Characters

Surnames

We all know Kim, Lee, Park, etc. And those really are extremely common. Kim alone account for over 21% of the South Korean population as of 2014, meaning 1 in 5 people are Kims. (Hi, I’m one of them)

However there are hundreds of surnames in use, not including the foreign surnames that foreign-born Koreans carry into the system when they’re naturalized.

Surnames are generally 1 letter (in Hangul) but 2-letter surnames like 황보(Hwangbo) and 남궁(Namgung) exist.

Wikipedia does have a comprehensive list of Korean surnames.

Korea had a rigidly patrilineal surname laws up until very recently. It was not until 2008 that it became possible at all to give children their mother’s surname (though exceptions were in place for children with unknown or foreign fathers) and even then there were restrictions. Those restrictions were lifted in 2021.

Some people, particularly feminists, choose to use both their mother’s and father’s surnames in their lives, but it is not legally recognized in South Korea.

Bon-gwan

본관 is usually translated to clan, although it is a uniquely Korean concept (it originated from China but to my knowledge, it is not in common use in China) that the word “clan” doesn’t fully contain in my opinion. Bon-gwan is family origin, essentially a city that your progenitor was based in. “Same” surnames can be of different clans. Gyeongju Kim and Gimhae Kim may both be Kims but they are different lineages. This is probably not all that relevant in contemporary fiction, but the more you know, you know? There are sub-clans to clans but we will not get into it. A lot of people, including myself, don’t even know our own sub-clans. Clans have legal significance in South Korea but the law doesn’t get into sub-clans so a lot of us have stopped caring... lol

Given Names

It’s common for overseas Koreans to use the names in the languages of the countries they live in, so it’s only realistic that your Korean-American character is named Alice Kim or something like that. They might still have Korean names their parents call them by. So it’s something to think about while building your character.

For example, in my WIP my characters Christian, Cindy and Cordelia are all named that way because they are Korean-Americans. But they all have Korean names as their middle names. Christian and Cindy’s parents occasionally call them by their Korean names.

Korean given names are generally two letters, although one-letter given names aren’t all that uncommon. South Korea’s legal limit to given names is five letters. The law was introduced in 1993, there was no limit before then. So those who were born before 1993 may have even longer names.

Many Korean names are based on Hanja (Chinese characters) but native Korean names exist. Korean Supreme Court has rules about what Hanja can be used in names. The rules were introduced in 1991 so people born before then may have any Hanja in their names. Here’s a list of Hanja for names with Hangul readings. It’s... a whole fucking lot.

Our names are meaningful, as names usually are in many cultures. For example, my name is 지현(Jihyun, 智賢) meaning knowledge and wisdom. Consider thinking about your character’s personality and traits, and try incorporating that to their names maybe.

List of Native Korean Names I Think Are Pretty

Note that a lot of these are considered “girly” names.

가람 (Ga-ram, archaic word for river)

가을 (Ga-eul, autumn)

겨울 (Gyeo-ul, winter)

고운 (Go-ul, pretty, kind, gentle)

나래 (Na-rae, archaic word for wings)

누리 (Nu-ri, the world)

다솜 (Da-som, archaic word for love)

단비 (Dan-bi, sweet rain)

별 (Byeol, star)

봄 (Bom, spring)

사랑 (Sa-rang, love)

새벽 (Sae-byeok, dawn)

샛별 (Saet-byeol, Venus planet)

슬기 (Seul-gi, wisdom)

여름 (Yeo-reum, summer)

이��� (Yi-seul, dew)

하나 (Ha-na, one)

하늘 (Ha-neul, sky)

Romanizations

There are several different “rules” when it comes to romanizing Korean, but names often don’t follow the typical romanization table for several reasons. 

One reason is that when Koreans first began immigrating to USA, they chose romanizations that are similar to existing English names or words to assimilate better. That’s how 김, 이, 박 came to be Kim, Lee, Park respectively, even though Gim/Ghim, Yi, Bahk would have been more accurate transliterations.

Another reason is that the romanized version may have negative connotations. For example, you don’t want to romanize 강 to Gang because it indicates organized crime, so Kang is used instead.

As I said earlier, Korean names are generally two letters and they are commonly hyphenated like the way I listed the native Korean names above. However, I choose to romanize without hyphenation. It all comes down to personal choice.

Initial (Sound) Law

What the fuck is this now? Well, simply put, ㄹ can’t be the first sound, and ㄴ can’t be the first sound in some occasions. This rule only applies to South Korean, North Korea doesn’t have this rule.

That’s why in Crash Landing on You, the North Korean man 리정혁(Ri Jeong-hyeok) has a surname 리 while South Koreans wouldn’t have that surname. They would be 이 instead.

ㄹ as a beginning sound is turned into ㅇ or ㄴ.

ㄴ in some cases are turned into ㅇ.

However here are South Korean people who have the surnames like 류 Ryu, because they insisted on keeping their name and got the law changed to accommodate these exceptions. People who didn’t protest as much... their surnames have been turned into 유.

It’s confusing as fuck... I know. All I’m saying is try to stay away from giving your (South) Korean characters Korean names that start with R/L unless you have a good reason to make an exception.

If you have any writing questions regarding Korea and Koreans, my ask is open! Happy writing.

I don't know what day it is of our enhanced community quarantine (day 9, maybe?), but I've started studying again, yay!

Even though classes were suspended I still finished some requirements from March 7 to 14. We were still adjusting to online classes when my uni decided to suspend it as well, so I allowed myself 6 days of binge watching Crash Landing on You (사랑의 불시작)... best.. drama.... I've watched.... 리정혁.... And other non-acad related things.

It was the best rest I've had in a while, but I've started studying again (3 days strong including today), and I feel productive! I'm currently studying my solution thermodynamics lectures because I finished our combined conduction and convection lectures on heat transfer before March 14. I'll probably start reviewing this semester's momentum transport lectures next week.

Aside from my chemical engineering courses, I'm also learning korean vocab! I've been interested in learning 한글 ever since I've started watching Running Man (런닝맨), so I'm happy I get to do it now.

I'm also 10 measures in a 59-measure piano piece, so that's more progress as well. 🖤

🤍 I'm still thankful that the people I know don't have covid-19 as of now, but I'm absolutely praying for those that do. I hope all of us still practice social distancing and proper hygiene, so that all of us survive this pandemic. Stay safe and healthy!!
