Hanja meanings are dictionary meanings of each character. A name is not rated lucky or unlucky.

Look up a name

Type a Korean name in Hangul to get the spelling and hanja candidates.

What this does

How names are picked

The surname comes from a list of common Korean surnames. The given name is two hanja syllables.

Native Korean names such as Haneul (sky) or Narae (wing) come from a word list.

Each hanja has its dictionary meaning. Spelling follows the official romanization.

Using it for characters

Type your character's name and you get six names built from that text.

The same text always gives the same names. Press make more to see others.

Pick a meaning first to steer toward light, nature or strength.

What it does not do

It does not count strokes or elements to call a name lucky or unlucky.

For a real birth registration in Korea, check the court's official hanja list for names.
