Korean names. Beautiful Korean female and male names

Among the Asian names, the Russian inhabitant is most likely to hear Japanese and Chinese forms. But with the specifics of the Korean onomasticon in our country, few are confronted. In this article, we will briefly cover this topic and find out what the Korean names and surnames are.

About Korean names and surnames

The first step is to touch on the basis by which Korean names and names are built. First, I must say that the overwhelming number of surnames are monosyllabic, that is, they consist of one syllable. Korean names, on the contrary, are often composite, including two syllables. For example, the president of South Korea bears the name of Mu Hyun, and his name is No. The surname is pronounced in the first place, therefore in official chronicles it is called No Mu Hyun. Although the Korean name is usually written in Russian in two words, this is just a feature of the established way in Russia for the transmission of hieroglyphic writing. It is important to understand that this is actually not two names, but one name consisting of two hieroglyphs-syllables.

It should also be noted that Korean names are overwhelmingly of Chinese origin. As for the names, they are mostly based on the Korean root, although it is essentially Sinopedic. In general, there are relatively few names in Korean everyday life. But there are a lot of names. Pick them up with a special ceremony, trained by the rules of the name of the sayers of fortune-tellers. Since the name is chosen from two hieroglyphs, this leads to the fact that a fixed onomasticon in Korea simply does not exist. Korean names can represent the most diverse versions of two syllables. Plus, almost any Chinese character can be included in the name, of which there are about seventy thousand in all. Although, of course, there are those that are used more often than others. But still the probability of meeting two people in Korea with the same names is almost zero. It happens that sometimes the name of two people sounds the same. But even so, they are likely to be written differently, because many Chinese characters that sound differently in Korea begin to be pronounced equally. From this sometimes there are difficulties associated with the translation. After all, if it is not known how Korean names are written in hieroglyphs , then it can and can not be adequately translated.

Another feature of the onomasticon of Korea is that Korean masculine names and female names are written and pronounced in the same way. In other words, they simply are not divided into male and female, which is somewhat unusual for European consciousness. The only way to determine the gender of a person by name is to delve into the meaning. For example, it is unlikely that the girl will be called Meng Ho, which means "brave tiger". But, as it is to be assumed, such a system of sexual identification does not always work and the results give only the supposed ones.
