While we have done our best to give you accurate meanings, the Korean girls’ names we’ve defined may have other means not included in the list.Ĭhoosing a name is a huge responsibility.You may find that the same name element has a variety of definitions in different places on this list.Occasionally there is only one meaning for a name, and we have gratefully used it.Where we can’t narrow down hanja to define, we have asked a Korean friend for help and gone with what they suggest.When we have found several common forms, we have shared up to three typical hanja meanings for each syllable. ![]() Where there is a general consensus about one or two most common hanja combinations and meanings, we share the hanja and the definitions.So in our list for definitions, we have gone with: This means there are 2,280 different pairs of hanja, and therefore 2,280 possible meanings for Eun-Ju. For Eun-Ju, there are 30 hanja that read eun and 76 that read ju. There may be multiple hanja with the same sound but different meanings. They can also be written in hangul, which is the Korean alphabet, although there is a growing trend for purely Korean hangul names. Most Korean names can be written with traditional characters called hanja. We’ve tried to identify each name’s most common spelling by referencing the National Institute For Korean Language (3). So, Eun-Ju may also be spelled Eun-Joo, Un-Joo, or Un-Ju, plus the other non-hyphenated combinations. Often, there are several possible English language spellings for each name. So, you might see a name written as Eun-Ju or Eunju. Some people write their names with the two elements hyphenated others blend the two. In modern Korea, it’s still common practice for siblings to share a generational name. Koren names are traditionally written with the surname first, followed by a generational name and a forename.
