Korean Name Studio is a free Korean name generator. Enter your English (or Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian) name and get a real Korean name that sounds like yours, written in Hangul with its hanja characters, romanization, and meaning.
A Korean name puts the family name first: in Kim Min-jun, Kim is the surname and Min-jun is the given name. There are no middle names.
Most surnames are one syllable. Kim, Lee, and Park alone are shared by nearly half of all Koreans.
Most given names have two syllables. Each syllable is usually tied to a hanja character, so the same sound can carry different meanings — 민 can be 敏 (quick, clever) or 旻 (autumn sky).
Some names are native Korean words with no hanja at all, such as 하늘 (Ha-neul, “sky”) or 한결 (Han-gyeol, “unwavering”).
Enter your name above and Korean Name Studio suggests a Korean name that sounds like it — for example Michael becomes 민결 (Min-gyeol), Sarah becomes 세라 (Se-ra), and Emma becomes 예나 (Ye-na). Each result comes with Hangul, hanja, romanization, and meaning.
Rather than spelling your name out phonetically in Hangul, the generator matches the sounds of your name — consonants, vowels, and final sounds — against real Korean given names and picks one that sounds similar and has a good meaning.
Yes. Every result comes from a list of about 1,800 real Korean given names, based on names commonly registered in Korea, each with its hanja and meaning.
Hanja are the Chinese characters used in Korean names. Two people named 민준 (Min-jun) may write it with different hanja, so their names mean different things.
