My Name is…

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.

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

    Siti Nana.

    Thanks! (:

    • janey_bei Says:

      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. siti nana Says:

    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!

    • janey_bei Says:

      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!

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

    • janey_bei Says:

      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. piglet_lover Says:

  9. REMAGnaeADI Says:

    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?

    • janey_bei Says:

      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?

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

    • janey_bei Says:

      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.

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

  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.

  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

    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

    • janey_bei Says:

      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.

    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

    • janey_bei Says:

      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.

    hasanah harsoyo

  26. my names…

    HASANAH HARSOYO

    please help me my names to hangul….
    thenks…

    • janey_bei Says:

      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.

  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

    • janey_bei Says:

      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).

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

    • janey_bei Says:

      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.
