Why Korean spells it 빅토리아

Korean writes foreign names by sound, not letter by letter. There is no silent letter and no way to write a consonant with nothing after it, so an English name usually gains or loses a beat on the way in — that is why Victoria becomes 4 blocks.

This spelling is the conventional one — the form a Korean would write on a delivery slip or a name tag without thinking about it. There are other ways to approximate the same sounds, and you will occasionally see them, but this is the one that reads as normal rather than as a foreigner spelling their own name phonetically.

If it is going on your skin, check it with a Korean speaker first. You can ask here — a person in Seoul answers, not a machine.

Write it yourself

빅토리아 takes about thirty seconds to learn to type. The keyboard tool needs nothing installed.
