Korean names, Hanja and the evidence behind them.
Explore Korean given names by Hangul spelling, Court usage evidence, legal name Hanja, readings and character-level meaning context—without pretending one pronunciation has one fixed meaning.
Names with recent Court observations
The Court feed is a ranked/top-name series, so absence from a year is never treated as zero registrations.
Hangul gives the sound. Hanja changes the character meaning.
Character glosses and legal readings are connected without turning compatible Hanja into unsupported claims about a person’s actual spelling.

2,116 recurring character concepts meet the current evidence threshold.
Built as a reference, not a generated-name list.
Usage figures keep their date and source. Legal-character status is separate from dictionary meaning. Surname counts remain tied to the 2015 census. Thin records can exist internally without being promoted into the controlled sitemap.
