Korean Boy Names

Korean parents in South Korea tend to name their children after due consideration. Korean boys’ names are generally based on several traits followed by a family name. Most of the Korean names are already Korean words in the South Korean language and have been taken from Chinese characters.

Every Korean name has two to three elements which thus form the full name of Korean boy names. The English version of every name often adds a hyphen in the first name to show it as a personal name. The family name is written at the start of the name, unlike in the English language in which the surname comes at the end.
