My Name in Korean

See your name in Hangul, the Korean alphabet — the way Koreans would actually write it.

K-pop names work the same way — except V is 뷔 and IU is 아이유, two Latin letters each, spelled two different ways. See why →

How names are written in Korean

Korean doesn't adopt foreign spellings — it rewrites the soundof your name in Hangul, following the National Institute of Korean Language's loanword rules. That's why Michael becomes 마이클 (ma-i-keul) rather than a letter-by-letter copy: Hangul is a phonetic alphabet, so your Korean name is really a recording of how it sounds.

A few sounds don't exist in Korean — there is no true f, v, z or th — so f becomes ㅍ (p), v becomes ㅂ (b) and th usually becomes ㅅ (s). Fiona → 피오나, Kevin → 케빈, Thomas → 토머스.

Getting a tattoo or ordering custom merch? Double-check with a native speaker first — this tool follows the standard rules, but names with unusual spellings can have more than one accepted form.

Names we've checked

These have the spelling a Korean would actually write, plus a syllable-by-syllable breakdown. Any other name still works in the box above — it just uses the rules rather than a checked spelling.
