How this Korean Name Generator works

This cultural naming tool generates authentic Korean names with proper Hangul characters and romanization using linguistically verified databases. The surname collection includes 25 common Korean family names representing over 70% of the Korean population, while given names are organized across four styles: Traditional (classic, timeless names), Modern (contemporary trending names), K-Drama Style (names popular in Korean dramas), and Meaningful (names emphasizing beautiful meanings).

Each generated name displays the complete Korean structure with surname first (following Korean convention), given name second, Hangul characters for authentic representation, and English romanization for pronunciation guidance. Names include their meanings—essential information in Korean naming culture where meanings significantly influence name selection. The generator supports Male, Female, and Unisex categories with style-appropriate names for each.

Output includes 12 complete names per generation with individual copy functionality and inline editing. Toggle options control Hangul and meaning visibility based on user preference. The tool serves K-drama fan fiction writers, authors developing Korean characters, game developers creating authentic Korean NPCs, and anyone exploring Korean naming conventions. All character data processes locally, enabling offline use after initial page load.
