Your explanation is very clear and sometimes some of your videos includes some stuff that I did not even know. (im Korean by the way) One thing that I just wanted to point out for this video was that when parents pick our baby's name, in order for baby's fortune or luck to become bright, many parents (but not all) brings the baby's birth date and time to some place where creates baby's name and they name baby's name. again, Thanks for your sweet video 😁

You missed on thing. In the traditional three syllable name, the second or third name isn't usually a random name but the same name for siblings. For example, my korean name is Chang Hyun, my brother's name is Gee Hyun, we share the second syllable first name. Or two sisters like my friends soo-min and soo-jin, who share the first syllable first name.

+ThePianoLover12 There's two cases: Some names are i.e. a male name simply because a large number of males used to have it. Like Cholsu. There is no rule that it can't be for a woman but nowadays it's so common as a boys name you'd question the parents of a girl who'd use it. The other case it: you can't. Have fun guessing. ;) Although there are hints such as "delicate flower" might be a girls name. But since you don't nessecarily know which chinese charcters were chosen for a name, you're in the dark.

Two-syllable names is used in past, too. For ex , the name of Joseon Kings all have two syllable name (except 태조 이성계, 정종 이방과, 세조 이방원, 단종 이홍위) -It's because that time, It was rude to call others by their names in China and Korea, especially the King's and Emperor's. So the Kings' name had two syllables, had different names after they dead. some of them didn't want to tell their name. Scholars and noblemans had another names like 자(字),호(號) You can also see this old custom in some dramas(like the untamed etc)

I’m Chinese and it’s really cool that I automatically have a Korean name just by reading my Chinese name using Korean pronunciation. And my surname is used quite widely in Korea even though its a Chinese surname too. There are way more many surnames in China than there are in Korea though, there is even a compilation of “the hundred most populous surnames” in China known as “百家姓” (백가성). The naming system in China is exactly the same as Korea by the way. By the way 2-word names are also used in China as opposed to 3-word names.

I personally use terms like “given names” and “family names”. “First name” and “last name” are misleading. It is quite interesting to see that Koreans actually look up hanja for Sino-Chinese names. It’s also quite interesting that 李 is a family name in Korea, given that it’s a very popular family name in China. Hmmm... if an ethnic Korean enrolls in Chinese school in the US, then will she/he use her/his Korean name or Sino-Korean name? The written Korean language is phonetic, like English. When Chinese names get transliterated into English, the pinyin is used. Likewise, when Chinese characters receive a Korean pronunciation and therefore Hangul, different Chinese characters can be pronounced exactly the same in Korean. One reason is that Korean is non-tonal.

Traditionally theres a generational character (dolimja돌림자) that has been predetermined that all males in one generation of one family will share. For example, all the male cousins of one family might share the syllable 'Joon' and there names could be 'Joon-Ki', "Joon-Young', and 'Joon-Ku'. Usually the grandfather will give out names based off that the dolimja to create strong names for the boys based off Hanja (the korean-chinese letters)

Some of you may be curious that there were not that many ruling clans historically. This is because most historical kingdoms of Korea lasted hundreds of years unlike many other countries. As for 김, it's been thousands of years, and there's a legend about this surname in which its origin goes back to a legendary figure 김알지. As for 박, it goes back to 박혁거세 who founded the Silla kingdom. So, 박 also has thousands of years in history. 1. Silla lasted about 1,000 years. Silla had three major surnames: 김, 박, and 석. The 석 clan became weak later, but 김 and 박 were still major. 2. However, no country lasts forever. Silla also became weak, and thus, many diverse clans or groups rose here and there. Among them, 왕 clan became the most powerful that they built a new dynasty, Goryeo (고려) that is the etymology of the word "Korea". Goryeo lasted for about 500 years. During late Goryeo era, there was another powerful clan that was virtually a loyal clan. It was 최 clan. Though the official loyal clan was still 왕, but 최 was virtually functioned as a main clan. later, since the invasion of Mongols, Goryeo also started to lose its power and get turbulent. 3. Later, one of the 이 clan people decided to turn over the country and build a new dynasty. His name was 이성계. He founded the Joseon Dynasty that lasted for another 500 years until the end of the 19th century. So, 이 was the loyal clan of Joseon Dynasty. 이성계 massacred the former 왕 clan. As a result, still there're very few 왕 surnames in the Korean peninsula. North Korea may have slightly more of the surname 왕. In South Korea, however, this surname is extremely rare. So, there're the major four surnames of 김, 이, 박, and 최, which had been powerful or loyal during particular periods of the past 2000 years. They count roughly 40-50% of the whole Koreans.

Korean''s family name existed from 1940 to 1945 in the period of Japan's annexation of Korea on the legal basis. It was available either diverting from their own last name coming from previous ruling families they picked according to the law enforced in 1909 and/or they already had or creating the new name in Japanese. But in 1946, such law was destroyed along with Japanese name by declaration of invalidity by occupied force?? before establishment of both North and South Korea. I guess the preset family register system is coming from the law enforced in 1909 through some arrangement.

There are sooo many surnames in Korea. Choi, Lee, Song, Kim, Park, No, Jung Etc. In the late Joseon Dynasty, they bought and sold genealogy. It's okay to use any last name. There are many pretty surnames such as Song, Sunwoo, Seol, etc.

Some Koreans have both a Korean name and an English name. Can someone from another country also choose their own Korean name?

I'm Korean American. My Korean name is Eee (Lee) Jae Whan. Don't know how to insert Hangul and Chinese characters. What about the generational aspect of names? My sisters' names are Jae Gyung and Jae Un. We're all JAE ... On my mom's side, her name is Kim Hyung Ock, her sisters are Sung Ock and Myung Ock. They're all OcK ... Also, I remember that somehow names are chosen by astrological importance? Thanks so much! I would not know how to begin this research and your explanation has inspired me!

For generation names among siblings, it really depends on how much your parents or your grandparents like about it. They may choose to use it, or they may choose not to use it. There is really no regulatory on using generation names among siblings. I know of three Korean sisters whose first and second sisters used a generation character in their first names; whereas, the third sister didn't have it. As for my three cousins, one girl and two boys, the two boys used a generation character but not the girl. As for my friend, he has a sister. Both of their names consist of a generation character. It is also possible for a group sisters to share a generation names; whereas, a group of brothers to share a different generation names. This generation name thing exists in the Chinese culture as well. It is way a lot more common than I first realized. Also, in the Chinese culture, if you have cousins (strictly from your father's brothers' families; who may also share the same surname), they are regarded as your "siblings" as well. Although, they are technically considered as cousins in all other cultures. In that case, these cousins of yours can also share a generation character. For you question on astrological importance on choosing a name, it depends on how much your family believes in astrology. With your day of birth and time of birth given to a Chinese Feng Shui master, he/she will assign you with a suitable name. And that Feng Shui master will usually take into the consideration of how many strokes there are within the full name.

Some families have the syllable that is in all the siblings. It is already decided for you. It's up for your family to decide whether to use it or not. Recently there are less and less people adopting the idea.

What fascinate me the most is that if you consider Kanja as a language of the Chinese, then it would mean that Korean names have no meaning based on its own culture. (Not talking about "Pure Korean" names here.) In a sense, a cultural identify (Korean last names & first names) basically has no meaning unless it gets help from another culture. This is somewhat shocking to me.

Last names heavily depends on the history. It doesn't have anything to do with Chinese culture. For the given name- yes. That's why recently there are more and more Pure Korean names rather than Chinese character based names.
