About Korean names
Korean names are written with the family name first, then a given name that is usually two syllables. Many given names are built from hanja, Chinese characters, so each syllable has its own meaning and one sound can be written several ways. Others are native Korean words, such as names that mean sky or light.
Some families follow a generation name, called dolimja, so that siblings or cousins share one syllable. The list shows given names only, so say your choice aloud with your surname before you decide.
