ONE ALPHABET, TWO SPELLINGS
Hangul vs. Hangeul: are they different?
Hangul and Hangeul are not two different writing systems. Both English words refer to 한글, the Korean alphabet. The difference comes from how Korean pronunciation is represented with Roman letters.
Why do both spellings exist?
Hangul is the shorter spelling widely used in English-language books, courses, museums, and search queries. Hangeul more visibly represents the second vowel in the Korean pronunciation and is also used by Korean cultural institutions and brands.
Which spelling is correct?
Both are understandable and commonly used. In ordinary English writing, Hangul is more familiar to many readers. BARAM KOREA often uses Hangeul in brand language while including Hangul so that people searching with either term can find the same guidance.
What does 한글 mean here?
On the name finder, 한글 means the Korean alphabet used to represent the pronunciation of a personal name. The result is a sound-based spelling, not a translation of the name’s meaning.
