Looking for a Korean name that fits Anthony? 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.
A wise path that is rich and bright
Do-yun is a familiar, friendly name in Korea, and its opening sound gently echoes the "To" in Anthony. It pairs the idea of walking a thoughtful path with a warm, glowing richness, which makes it feel both grounded and kind.
Calm reason and peaceful comfort
The "An" at the end of I-an echoes the start of Anthony, so the name feels personal right away. It is a modern Korean name that looks surprisingly international, yet it carries a quiet meaning of a clear mind and a settled heart.
Goodness as wide as the universe
Seon-u is a distinctive, well-loved Korean name that is a little unexpected but easy to say. It suggests a good-hearted person with a big, open outlook, which is a lovely wish to carry with a new name.

이안 (I-an) is a strong choice: Calm reason and peaceful comfort. 도윤 (Do-yun) and 선우 (Seon-u) are good alternatives.
