The Koreas are two countries in East Asia. South Korea has a population of roughly 52 million (half of whom live in the capital city), while North Korea has an estimated population of about 25 million. South Korea is an urban focused and technologically advanced country with a strong economy, as well as a high quality of life. North Korea is unfortunately the polar opposite. As far as names go, the two Koreas share similar names, but South Korea begins to favor English names as well, whereas North Korea sticks to more traditional Korean names instead.

About Korean Culture & Naming
🌸 **Surname First:** Korean names are traditionally presented with the family name first, followed by the given name.
🌸 **Limited Surnames:** There is a relatively small number of common surnames (e.g., Kim, Lee, Park), though each has many clans (bon-gwan).
🌸 **Syllabic Given Names:** Given names are typically composed of two syllables, often chosen for their meaning using Hanja (Chinese characters) or pure Korean words.
🌸 **"Dollimja" (Generation Names):** Some families follow a tradition where one syllable of a given name is shared among siblings or cousins of the same generation.
🌸 **Modern Trends:** While traditional naming practices continue, there is also a trend towards more unique, Hangeul-based, or even Westernized names in South Korea. This Korean Name Name generator provides a mix.
