유건

Top pick

generous and strong in spirit

유 裕 · abundant, generous
건 健 · healthy, strong

The soft opening "Yu" echoes the "Lu" of Luca, and the firm "geon" gives a nod to the "ca" sound. It's a warm, steady name that Koreans find natural and friendly, with a quiet strength behind it.

Si-u
say “shee-oo”

timely rain

시 時 · time, season
우 雨 · rain

Si-u evokes a gentle rain that arrives just when it is needed, a lovely image of someone who brings fresh energy. It's short and melodic like Luca, and its ending "u" carries a soft echo of the "u" in your name.

도윤
Do-yun
say “doh-yoon”

a path that enriches

How Korean names work

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