Write any foreign name in Korean — the natural way.
Hangul Name is a free tool that turns any name from 19 languages into its closest natural Korean (Hangul) spelling.

The primary spelling a native Korean speaker would say, with alternative spellings where they help.

English, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Russian, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, Malay, Hindi, Bengali, Tagalog, Burmese and Mongolian. Type a name in its native script and Hangul Name returns the Korean pronunciation.
A name's pronunciation depends on its origin language. "Caroline" sounds different in English, French and German, so the same letters can map to different Hangul. Pick the result whose language matches the name's origin — the first card is our top recommendation.
Hangul was created by King Sejong the Great in 1443 as Hunminjeongeum — "the correct sounds for the instruction of the people." Its consonants mimic the shape of the speech organs and its vowels embody Heaven, Earth and Humanity, making it one of the most scientific writing systems in the world and a UNESCO Memory of the World.
