How it works
Three ways to translate your name
Unlike simple transliteration apps, we use all three methods — then let you choose.
Meaning-Based
We look up what your name means in its original language (Latin, Greek, Hebrew, etc.) and translate that meaning into Korean.
Victoria (victory) → 승아 (勝雅)
Hybrid
First syllable from your name's sound, second syllable from its meaning. The most creative and uniquely Korean approach.
Luna (moon) → 하월 (夏月)
For Chinese & Japanese names
Your name already uses Hanja characters (漢字). We read them in Korean pronunciation — giving you the most authentic result possible.
田中 (Tanaka) → 전중 → refined into 전하윤
2-Person Set with 돌림자
In Korean families, siblings share one syllable across their names. We apply this to friend groups and couples too — one shared character, two unique identities.
Emma + James → 은아 + 은혁 (both share 은)

FAQ
Common questions
Is this a real Korean name?
Yes. All names generated follow authentic Korean naming conventions — real surnames, real given-name syllables, real hanja. Native Koreans would recognise these as genuine names.
Why is the paid version better?
Free gives you 2 options. Paid gives you 6 — across all three methods — plus hanja analysis, pronunciation guide, and a high-res calligraphy card to share.
What is hanja?
Hanja (한자) are Chinese characters used in Korean names. Each Korean name syllable has one or more possible hanja with different meanings — choosing the right one is part of what makes a name meaningful.
What is 돌림자 (donglimja)?
A traditional Korean practice where siblings or members of the same generation share one syllable in their names. We apply this to friend groups and 2-person sets for a cohesive feel.
Do you store my data?
No. Nothing is sent to a server. Name generation runs entirely in your browser. No account, no tracking, no data collection.
