How to write your name in Korean
Korean names for foreigners are written by sound, not meaning. Hangul builds syllable blocks from consonants and vowels, so “Michael” becomes 마이클 (ma-i-keul). This Korean name generator uses the standard spellings for about 300 common English names and English sound rules for everything else, then shows alternatives Koreans also use.
FAQ
How do I write my name in Korean?
Type your English name into the converter. Common names use their standard spelling (Michael → 마이클, Jennifer → 제니퍼); other names are spelled by English sound rules.
Is this a Korean name generator or a translation?
It is a transliteration: your name is written with Korean letters so it sounds the same. Names are not translated by meaning.
Why are there several spellings of my name?
English sounds don't map one-to-one to Korean. Official loanword rules give one spelling, but popular usage often differs (Matthew: 매슈 or 매튜). Both are understood.
How do I pronounce my Korean name?
Each result shows the Revised Romanization, a “say it like” guide and a syllable-by-syllable breakdown.
