2. Select a gender — choose Male, Female, or Any if you want a mixed list reflecting unisex or varied results.
3. Click Generate to produce a list of Korean names with Hangul script and romanized spellings.
4. Scan the results for names that fit your character, project, or dataset, then copy individual names or the full list.
5. Regenerate as many times as needed — each click produces a new set drawn from the full pool of authentic Korean names.

Use Cases

• •Naming Korean or Korean-diaspora characters in a novel set in Seoul or Los Angeles
• •Building a realistic NPC roster for an RPG or visual novel with Korean cultural setting
• •Creating sample student name lists for Korean language teaching materials or Anki decks
• •Populating Figma or Storybook UI mockups with culturally accurate Korean names instead of Lorem Ipsum
• •Generating diverse Korean names for a test dataset or staging database seed script

Tips

• →If you need a family unit, generate a batch and pick names sharing a surname — then manually check that the given names feel distinct from each other.
• →For historical Korean settings (Joseon era and earlier), avoid modern syllable combinations like 'jun-seo' or 'ye-jin' which trend contemporary; lean on classical hanja-heavy syllables like 'hyeon', 'seok', or 'cheol'.
• →Generating with 'Any' gender is useful for discovering unisex syllables like 'yun' or 'ji' that work across characters regardless of gender.
• →Cross-reference the Hangul output with a hanja dictionary (e.g., Naver Dictionary) to confirm the meaning of each syllable before assigning a name to an important character.
• →For game localization or subtitles, note that romanized Korean names are sometimes hyphenated (Ji-young) and sometimes written solid (Jiyoung) — pick one style and apply it consistently across your project.
• →If your project targets a Korean audience, avoid given-name syllable combinations that carry negative hanja meanings (e.g., syllables associated with death or misfortune) — native readers will notice.
