Korean name for Scarlett

Looking for a Korean name that fits Scarlett? 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.

서윤
Seo-yun
say “suh-yoon”

A lustrous, auspicious blessing

서 瑞 · auspicious, good omen
윤 潤 · glossy, rich, moist

Seo-yun begins with a soft "s" sound, gently echoing the opening of Scarlett. It is a familiar, well-loved name in Korea that feels graceful and warm, with a meaning of shining good fortune that suits a name as rich and striking as Scarlett.

채린
Chae-rin
say “chair-in”
Top pick

Brilliant color, shining jade

채 彩 · color, brilliance
린 璘 · radiance of jade

Scarlett is a name about vivid color, and Chae-rin carries that spirit through the character for color and brilliance. The "r" sound in Rin also echoes the middle of Scarlett. It is a pretty, modern-sounding Korean name with a bold but refined feel.

단하
Dan-ha
say “dahn-hah”

Red glow of the sunset sky

단 丹 · red, cinnabar, sincere
하 霞 · rosy glow of dawn or sunset clouds

For a surprising choice, Dan-ha takes the idea of scarlet and turns it into poetry: the red of a sunset sky. The character 丹 is a classic Korean symbol for red and also means sincerity. The name is short, soft and a little uncommon, so it stands out in a memorable way.

How Korean names work

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