About this test
What's your Korean name?
This Korean name quiz matches your personality with one of sixteen beautiful Korean word names, most of them native Korean words, and shows each name in Hangul with a simple romanization and its meaning.
Many people search for a Korean name generator or a Korean name for foreigners because they want something that sounds good and means something.
Instead of translating your English name, this quiz asks twelve everyday questions about your weekends, your friendships, your dream trips and the way you handle surprises.
Then it gives you a name such as 다온 (Da-on), often explained as 'all good things are coming', or 별 (Byeol), meaning star. How does the quiz pick a name?
Every answer points toward one of the sixteen names, and the name you collect the most becomes your result.
Each result has the Hangul spelling, an easy romanization with hyphens to show the syllables, a short meaning, a personality read, one cute flaw and a name that pairs well with yours.
Hangul is the Korean alphabet, and each block you see, like 하늘, is one syllable. The names here come from words about nature, light, feelings and the world, which is why they are popular as given names in Korea.
Can I really use this as my Korean name? It's a fun nickname, not an official or legal name.
Real Korean names usually combine a family name with a given name, and some people choose their name with a family elder or a professional name-giver, so please treat your result as a playful keepsake.
A few meanings, like 'all good things are coming' for 다온, are popular explanations rather than strict dictionary definitions, and some names can be read in more than one way.
Most names here are native Korean words; 온유 (溫柔, gentle) and 초롱 (from 燭籠, lantern) come from Sino-Korean everyday words. We avoided names whose meaning depends on choosing Chinese characters.
After the quiz, you can screenshot the card with the big Hangul, send it to a friend and see which name they get.
It works for anyone, whatever your gender, because none of the names here are tied to one gender in this quiz. This quiz is made for fun and for learning a few Korean words.
