Korean name for Jasmine

Looking for a Korean name that fits Jasmine? 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.

지민
Ji-min
say “jee-min”
Top pick

Wise and gentle

지 智 · wisdom, intelligence
민 旼 · gentle, mild

Ji-min echoes the opening "Jas" and the closing "min" of Jasmine, so it feels like a close sound-cousin of your own name. It is a very familiar, friendly name in Korea, and it pairs a clear mind with a soft, warm heart.

채원
Chae-won
say “chae-wun”

A beautiful woman full of color

채 彩 · color, brilliance
원 媛 · beautiful woman

Jasmine is a name that brings to mind a fragrant, delicate blossom, and Chae-won carries that same sense of colorful beauty. It sounds graceful and a little unexpected, which suits your wish to be surprised.

하연
Ha-yeon
say “ha-yuhn”

Lotus flower

하 荷 · lotus
연 蓮 · lotus flower

Like Jasmine, Ha-yeon is a flower name, but it takes you to the lotus, which is a symbol of purity and calm beauty in Korea. It is soft and lyrical to say, and it makes a surprising yet natural Korean counterpart to a floral name.

How Korean names work

Most Korean names have a one-syllable family name and a two-syllable given name, like 지민. 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.
