Korean Baby Names

Korean names have never been more visible in Britain — K-pop, K-drama and a generation of parents who fell for both. Korean given names are usually two syllables, each chosen for meaning (Ji “wisdom”, Min “clever”, Joon “talented”), and many syllables stand alone as short international names too. This list mixes standalone favourites like Hana and Yuna with classic name syllables — each with its meaning.
