Korean girl names are as stunning as they are unique. The nation’s name structuring is usually the first thing you’d notice, as the family name (surname) appears first. It’s followed by the personal name or “first name” as we’d call it stateside.
Personal names are almost always two syllables and feature two distinct parts with their own meaning. An example would be Min and Min-ji. Min is a completely different name from Ji. Stateside, we’d call these compound or “double-barrel” names. An example is Marianne. A personal name can be unique to your kiddo or feature a part shared between siblings.
Many Korean names for girls have incredible meanings, winning them fans far and wide. Yu-mi is one of our favorites, meaning “have beauty.” She’s not too common stateside, but she fits in well with more popular monikers, making her a good pick if you’re looking to honor your roots. She’s also a Japanese name, though that form is styled as Yumi and means “reason.” Su-jin and her variant Soo-jin are solid choices with the mighty meaning “gather; long life.” Myeong‘s “bright” is another cheery find.
Cute Korean girl names are plentiful if you’re after something extra adorable. Bora is a sweetheart with the colorful meaning of “purple.” She doubles as a place name, too, since Bora Bora is a beloved island in French Polynesia. Nari is another precious pick. Meaning “lily,” she’s a floral phenom that travels beautifully between borders, whether your baby girl takes Europe by storm or settles in the South Pacific. The pint-sized Ji is also adorable. Her meaning of “wisdom” isn’t too shabby, either.
Unique Korean girl names are another treasure trove of amazing options. Harin is a stunner meaning “great; jade.” There’s also Haneul, meaning “heaven; sky.” On the flip side, today’s most popular Korean girl names in their native land include Seo-ah, meaning “beautiful; auspicious.” Others include Yi-seo and Ji-an. While much-loved in South Korea, they remain rare in much of the United States.
