Looking for a Korean name that fits Andrew? Here are three real Korean names that echo its sound or spirit, each with Hanja (the Chinese characters behind Korean names), what they mean, and how to say them.
joyful peace
이안 keeps the clear "An" sound at the start of Andrew, so your own name stays audible in it. It is a modern, friendly name that Koreans know well. It sounds gentle and a little international, and it carries a warm meaning.
strong and blessed
Andrew comes from a Greek root linked with manliness and courage. 건우 carries that same spirit in Korean: strength paired with good fortune. It is a familiar, dependable name with a confident sound.
timely rain
For a surprise, 시우 is a poetic choice. It suggests rain that arrives just when it is needed, which is a welcome and refreshing thing. The sound is soft and modern, and it is a name Koreans find natural and pleasant.
