Korean Given Name
A Korean name (Hangul: ; Hanja: ) consists of a family name followed by a given name, as used by the Korean people in both South Korea and North Korea. In the Korean language, ''ireum'' or ''seongmyeong'' usually refers to the family name (''seong'') and given name (''ireum'' in a narrow sense) together.

The generational name syllable is shared by siblings in North Korea, and by all members of the same generation of an extended family in South Korea.
