A Korean name has a one-syllable family name (seong) followed by a given name (ireum), usually two syllables: 김민준 is Kim Min-jun. A Korean name generator pairs real surnames such as Kim, Lee, Park, and Choi with given names from modern, classic, pure Korean, and K-drama pools, and shows each name in Hangul and romanization.
Most Korean given names are Sino-Korean, built from syllables tied to Chinese characters, while pure Korean names such as Haneul (sky) and Bada (sea) come from native words. Polite forms like Min-jun-ssi and Kim seonsaengnim, and familiar terms like oppa, hyung, unni, and noona, show hierarchy and closeness in dialogue.
Muxgen's Korean Name Generator offers 39,846+ pathways across 184 given names and 70 family names, four formats, and three romanization styles. It runs locally in your browser with no account required, for fiction, games, and study — not legal or baby-naming advice.
Three steps from style selection to a pasted shortlist of Korean names.
Pick male, female, unisex, or all. Select modern, classic, pure Korean, K-drama, or every style.
Use full name, given only, polite (-ssi, -nim), or familiar (oppa, unni). Choose Hangul, romanization, or both, and family-first or given-first order.
Create your batch and copy every line for scripts, character sheets, or study notes.

Why a dedicated Korean tool beats blank pages and generic lists.
Blank pages recycle Kim and Park with the same few given names. Style banks surface era-appropriate options.
Both are family-first, but Japanese uses kanji and -san/-kun while Korean uses Hangul, -ssi/-nim, and oppa/unni.
Real celebrity names pull readers out of the story. Generated names stay original to your cast.
Chat can mix up romanization and honorifics. Fixed pools pair each name with correct Hangul.
Small naming traps that make Korean casts feel off.
“Kim-ssi” alone can sound curt or rude. Use the full name or given name with -ssi.
Oppa is said by women, hyung by men — both to an older male. Unni and noona follow the same split.
Korean writes 김민준, not 김 민준. Spaces go before -ssi and titles, not inside the name.
A grandfather named Do-yoon beside a grandson named Young-chul reads backwards. Lock styles by generation.
Pick Min-jun, Minjun, or Min Jun for a whole project so readers recognize names.
This tool is for creative use — not baby-naming advice or legal name registration.
How to use this Korean name tool responsibly.
Outputs follow real Korean naming patterns for fiction, games, and study — not official registry recommendations.
