When you first meet someone, it’s important to be able to ask what is your name in Korean. It’s good manners!

This is especially true in Korea! There are a few reasons for this:

1. You may be unfamiliar with Korean names

2. Koreans don’t always say their name up front

3. Korean is a hierarchical language, so you need to know how to address the person you’re meeting

When making Korean friends, you’ll want to know how to say what is your name in Korean. I'll show you how!

Name

There are two words for ‘name’ in Korean. The most commonly used word is 이름 (ireum). This is used in most situations. Another word that you may hear is 성함 (seongham), which is the formal word for ‘name’ in Korean. You may hear this word in more official situations.

When separating family names and given names, for example on official forms, the word 이름 (ireum) is used for ‘first name’ and the word 성 (seong) is used for ‘family name’.
