Korean Name Generator

This free Korean name generator gives you three Korean names chosen for your birth date. It reads a short-form version of your Saju birth chart, finds which of the Five Elements is thin, and picks names that fill the gap — the way Korean families have traditionally named babies. Pick a name style and a mood, and compare the three names side by side.

Find Your Korean Name

Korean names aren't picked at random. Traditionally, families look at a baby's birth chart, see which of the Five Elements is thin, and choose characters that fill the gap. Here's a short-form version of that — with three names picked for your birth date.

Born in January or early February? Your sign may differ depending on the system used. Popular Korean zodiac calendars often change at Lunar New Year, while many Saju traditions use Ipchun, the beginning of spring.

FAQ

How does the Korean name generator choose my name?

It builds a short-form Saju chart from your birthdate, looks at which of the Five Elements is thin, and picks names whose element fills that gap. Your name style (feminine, masculine or neutral) and mood narrow the list to three names. The element matching is an editorial interpretation inspired by Korean naming customs, not a professional naming reading.

Do I need my birth time to get a Korean name?

No. You only need your birthdate. The tool reads your year pillar and day pillar, so your birth time is not used.

Why can my zodiac sign differ if I was born in January or early February?

Popular Korean zodiac calendars often change the sign at Lunar New Year, while many Saju traditions use Ipchun, the beginning of spring. If you were born between those two dates, your sign may differ depending on the system used.
