Korean name for Alice

아린
A-rin
say “ah-rin”
Top pick

Elegant and clear like pure water

아 雅 · elegant, refined
린 潾 · clear, limpid water

A-rin opens with the same soft "A" as Alice and carries a similar lilting "l/r" sound in the middle, so it feels like a natural Korean echo of your name. It is a gentle, graceful name that Koreans find fresh and pleasant, and it leaves a calm, clear impression.

시아
Si-a
say “shee-ah”

An elegant poem

시 詩 · poem, verse
아 雅 · elegant, refined

Si-a is short and musical, and it ends on the "a" sound that also ends Alice. Its meaning, a refined poem, gives it a quietly artistic feel. It is a familiar, soft-sounding name in Korea that is easy for friends abroad to say too.

하윤
Ha-yun
say “hah-yoon”

A river that brings richness and shine

하 河 · river
윤 潤 · to enrich, glossy, moist

Ha-yun is a surprise choice: it has a different sound from Alice, but it brings an image of a bright, flowing river that nourishes everything it touches. It is a warm, friendly name that is common and well loved in Korea. It suits someone you want to feel open, lively and kind.

How Korean names work

Most Korean names have a one-syllable family name and a two-syllable given name, like 아린. Each syllable is usually tied to a Hanja character, so two names that sound the same can mean different things. That is why a good Korean name comes with its characters, not just its sound.
