Lists of hanja for names are illustrative, not exhaustive. Names by common first and second syllables G or k (ㄱ), n (ㄴ), d (ㄷ) M (ㅁ), b (ㅂ) S (ㅅ) Vowels and semivowels (ㅇ) J (ㅈ) and ch (ㅊ) T (ㅌ) and h (ㅎ) Native Korean names ''Goyueo ireum'' are Korean given names which come from native Korean vocabulary, rather than Sino-Korean root ...
