My Name is…

August 24, 2007 at 12:17 pm | In Phrases | 79 Comments

After knowing how to greet people the 한극  way, it is just logical to know how to introduce yourself.  This is just the basic way:

제 이름은 <your name>이에요. This is similar to saying ‘My name is <actual name>.  You can just simply put your English name written in alphabet but if you know how to write your name in 한글 it would be better.  Like my name Jane is spelled 제 인.  So i can introduce myself as 제 이름은 제 인 이에요 (Che i-reum-un JeIn-i-eyo).  제 can be replaced with 제가 (che-ga) or 나는 (na-nun) which both means ‘I’.

Word for the day 문 (moon) which means door.

  1. how can i write my name in hangul???
    engku puteriz
    siti halimah
    siti aishah
    ssiti khaddijah
    siti haaawa
    norhayati
    maimon
    hanifah

    musssa
    noraini
    nurzakiatul husna
    ahmad izul iman
    huzaiffah
    ahmad nasaruddin
    nurul azreen

    • lots of names here. i am guessing your name is engku puteriz here is how you write it in Hangul 엥구 (engku) 푸테리즈(puteriz)

  2. hi! erm can i know what’s my name in hangul?

    Siti Nana.

    Thanks! (:

    • your name will be written as 지티 in hangul. its actually ziti with z pronounced more of soft ‘ch’, there is no hangul counterpart for si which is similar to sound of ci in the word city. ㅅ is normally pronounced as shi when followed by ㅣ which has the sound of ‘i’ in hangul.

  3. thanks very much, it’s been of a great help with those explanations (:

  4. Can i know what’s my name in hangul too? i’m kind of curious

    Lizette

    Thank you!

    • 리제트 (licheteu) this i guess is how you would spell your name in Hangul. As you can see it’s romanized as licheteu but the ‘eu’ in the end is almost voiceless. Z in hangul is ㅈ of j/ch in pronunciation they don’t have the exact ‘z’ and they don’t use the s sound of ㅅ for it.

      • Oh i see, Thank you very much for the explanation and response

        by the way, this blog is quite interesting and helpful, you’re doing a good work!

  5. how can I spell my name in hangul ?
    “Jenifer”
    i’ll wait your replay.
    thank you very mush. =)

    • it’s 잰니퍼
      pronounced as jenipo. ㄹ which has the ‘r’ or ‘l’ sound is normally ’swallowed’ whenever it occurs as final consonant otherwise its pronounced more l sound.

  6. wow, it’s amazing. thank you =)

  7. Hi, i would like to know how to spell my name in Hangul?
    Idette

    THank you!

    • 이데트 – Idette

  8. hai..can you help me to spell my name in hangul too??
    my name is Lourie..
    thank you! =)

    • Hmmm this is how i think it should be written in hangul (lori) 로리.

      • thank you so much !! =D
        now i know my hangul name !

  9. can u translate my name?
    NADIA
    is it will become like this?
    나디아
    any meaning of that in hangul?

    i try to find for a dictionary which can help me to translate english words to hangul pronunciation.
    example:
    LOVE -> sarang
    PLEASE -> jebal

    like that, but i didnt find the dic so far. can u help me?
    where can i find that dict?

    • 나다아 -this would be pronounced more as na-dee-ah rather than na-dee-yah. it would be better to write 나디야.

  10. Hi! Just checking… Did I write my name in Hangul correctly? 제시가 = Jessica?

    your site is great, btw ;)

    • you have written it correctly though the pronunciation for this would be jeshica. ㅅ becomes shi when followed by ㅣ

      • Oh I see… I just started learning Hangul characters. Thanks for the note! :)

  11. Hi!, I would like to know my name in hangul
    Zyanya Rios
    and how to pronunce it
    Thank you very much in advance :)

    • You mean written in Hangul Zyanya is 지얀야 (jiyanya) there is no z in hangul it is commonly written as ㅈ (sound j or ch) in Korean.
      리요스 (Riyosu) this is so far the nearest in terms of pronunciation for Rios.

      • Thank you so much for your time! :)
        I’m really glad ^^

  12. i would like 2 know my name catherine written in hangul.

    • Based on how your name is pronounced in English my suggested spelling would be –> 캐트린 (Kaeteurin)

      • thank you!!

  13. hey i would like to know my name in hangul and how to pronounce it….KAREN ERSANDO..thanks!!

    • Based on the pronunciation of your name it should be
      카렌 (karen)
      에르산도 (ereusando) — in hangul when ㄹ which is the character representing sound r and l is sandwiched by vowels it takes r sound otherwise its l. in the case of your name it cannot be spelled as 엘산도 (it will be pronounced as elsando instead) as such ㅡ is added to ㄹ.

  14. I’d like to know my name in hangul also.
    Three ways to say my name, can you do all of them? XD

    Marikris.
    MJ.
    Arie / or A-Ri (Ah-Ri)

    THANKS BUNCHES ^^

    • Marikris – 마리크리스 (Marikeuriseu)
      Mj – 엠제이 (emje-i)
      Arie – 아리 (ari)

      • thanks. your really fast.

  19. Hi!
    I’d love to know what my name is in Hangul! :D
    I was raised catholic, and in my country catholic people give their children more than one name (they call me by my first name) so I was wondering if you could maybe translate all of my names (4) for me..?
    My full name is Duco Andréas Markus Jan Werkman.
    Everyone calls me Duco, which is my first name. Werkman is my family name.

    Also, my sister is obsessed with Korea and I can’t think of something that makes her more happy than knowing what her name is in Hangul :P
    Could you please translate her names too? You’d really make her happy with that!
    Her name is Merel Astrid Adriana Maria Werkman.
    Merel is her first name :)

    Kind regards,

    Duco (from The Netherlands)

    • It’s a bit difficult to write your name in Hangul as the combination of sounds are more complicated, but this could be the closest:
      두코 (Duco)
      안드래야스 (Andeuraeyaseu) –eu sound similar to short ‘i’ as in i in bird, this sound is almost swallowed in Korean when in final position.
      마르구스 (Mareukuseu) in the typical Korean pronunciation sound of ‘r’ is dropped for English names so it may occur that your name can be written 머구스 (Mokuseu) just like the common Korean surname Park which is 박 Pak when spelled in Hangul.
      잔 (Jan)
      왝만 (Waekman)

      for your sister…
      메렐 (Merel)
      아스트리드 (Aseuteurideu) – this is the most difficult to translate it looks long in Korean characters this is because sounds in Korean block of character follows consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) or in some instance CVCC or CV. there are also some rules on final sounds.
      마리야 (mariya)

      Words are mostly spelled by sound in Korean and its not as complicated as the English vowel except for some rules on consonant sounds, i think the above translation is closest to the name pronunciation.

      • Thank you very much!
        So this is what my name would be like when I’d move to Korea :P
        Btw, do you say your family name first when you introduce yourself to someone? And do you also write it before your first name?

        Thanks a lot for the professional translation and information :D

  20. Annyeonghaseyo…
    i wanna ask you
    how can i write my name in hangul?
    because i’ve been so interested about korea
    my name is
    Saur Lumongga
    thanks so much for your answer
    kamshahamnida

    • 사울 (Saur)
      루멍가 (Lumongga)
      for your name the way i have written is above could be pronounced as Saul in Korean since ㄹ is sounding more of ‘r’ when it is sandwiched by two vowel sounding characters but as final consonant it takes the sound of letter ‘L’. As you know ㄹ is either r or l in hangul. So it may be that your name will be better written this way– 사우르 (Saureu) the eu at the end is almost in most cases no longer heard when pronounced in Korean.

  21. hi jane..
    i’m jalilah frm m’sia..

    just found ur blog…
    very informative for a beginner like me..

    just wanna ask you how to write my name in 한글.

    is it right to write my name like this?

    JALILAH — 자리랗

    • Hi Jalilah thanks for dropping by. I think your name should be spelled this way instead:
      잘릴랗 – Jal.lil.lah

      if you ask why, the way you spelled your name original 자리랗 will be pronounced more as Jarirah. This is because the ㄹ character sounds more of r when sandwiched between two vowel sounds.

  22. Annyong haseyo…
    i wanna ask you
    how can i write my name in hangul?
    my name is Rossa Wulandari
    thanks a lot…Kamshammnida

  25. how i can write my name in hangul?

    hasanah harsoyo

  26. my names…

    HASANAH HARSOYO

    please help me my names to hangul….
    thenks…

    • Sorry was a bit busy the past days your name could be written as
      하사낳 (Hasanah)
      할소요 (Harsoyo) though I must caution you that this spelling would typically be pronounced as Halsoyo due to some rules on pronunciation of ㄹ sound. If you wanna be strict with the pronunciation it can be written as 하르소요 (hareusoyo) the ‘eu’ sound is almost dropped, just to stress r as the sound of the ㄹ character.

      • wah…..

  29. Hello there. Can you help me out with my name? I’m Kashmira. it’s pronounce as Kash-mi-ra. Will be greatly happy if you can spell it in hangul. Thank you :D

    • hi kashimira! your name can be written this way 카시마라 (ka-shi-mi-ra). Sorry but its not possible to write kash in one character block due to pronunciation rules. Also ka in this spelling is bears the ‘ah’ sound as in the word aligned but if its in American pronunciation, you can use 캐 (kae) instead of 가. This sounds like ‘a’ of apple. 캐시미라 (kae-shi-mi-ra).

      • Thank you ^^

  30. Ummm….
    Can I have my name in hangul???
    My name’s “Gerry”

    • it should be 재리 romanized as Jaeri but pronunced at Jerry. G in Korean only has the ‘g’ sound as in gold unlike in English where it can share sound as j in pronunciation.

  31. hye nice know you..how about my name
    lily rafida in hangul??
    thanks a lot…

  32. hye..nie to know you.. i want to know my name in hangul..my name is
    lily rafida..
    thanks

    • this is my suggested spelling for you name
      릴리 라피다 (lily rapida)

  33. please guys, help me to know the equivelent hangul name to my name!!

    Zekra mones

    and my friends’ names also:

    Hind Onazi + Wadha mutairi

    Saudi Arabia,,,, I’m waiting please… I want the spelling and the pronouciation…

    <3

    ^_^

    • 재그라 (Jaekeura) this is my suggested spelling of your name considering the rules in pronunciation in Hangul. as i always mentioned for the z sound the counterpart in Korean is ㅈ which has the j or ch sound. same goes with the use of the character ㄹ which bears the r or l sound, for it to have the r sound it should be sandwiched by vowel sound. you can also spell your name this way 새그라 (Saekeura) though this may sound near z because of s sound of ㅅ it’s not how Koreans will spell your name but it’s probably the nearest sound to zekra. 모네스 (Moneseu) is how you write your surname.

      for your two other friends:
      힌드 오나지 (Hindeu Onaji) the eu is almost voiceless as final vowel of the name Hind.
      왇하 무타이리 (Watha Mutari) the sound of ㄷ as final consonant is almost like t. this is some rules on pronunciation.

      hope this helps.

  34. heey there. (:
    is it possible for you to translate my name tooo pleease? :)

    my naame is vivian lee. (:

    thaanks in advance !

    • hi vivian this is my suggestion:

      비비안 this is if your name is pronounced as vivian with last syllable more of yan sound but if its a little slang like more of yen at the end vi-vi-yen then it should be
      비비얜
      while your name is sure common for Korean and its written as 이 ‘ee’ in sound but romanized as Lee.

  35. Kumawoo Jeni shi
    Thank you very much for your reply
    I’m so happy :)

    but can I ask something?… the Kprean people used to put the family name at the beginnig , and it’s very short(one symbole) … for example: Kim, Lee, Hn, …etc.
    So could the family name be just Mo?

  36. Hi! Could you translate my name (Kendra) into Hangul? I’ve only started learning Korean. :) Thank you!

    • 캔드라 (Kaendeura) this is my suggested spelling of your name in Hangul.
