Aaron in Korean 에런
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Aaron as 에런: two syllables, said e-reon. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Aaron letter by letter
Each Hangul block is one syllable, built from a consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant underneath.
ㄹ between two vowels (에런) is one quick tap of the tongue, like the tt in American "butter": closer to a soft d than an English r.
- ㅓ (eo) in 런 is the open "uh" of "sun", not an "o".
- Two even beats, e-reon: Korean doesn't stress one syllable over the other the way English does.
How Koreans would call you
Korean given names are almost always two syllables, so 에런 already sounds natural to Korean ears. In casual sentences Koreans often add 이 after a name that ends in a consonant: 에런이 왔어 ("Aaron's here").
Why it's spelled 에런
Spelled letter-by-letter you'd get 아아론, but Korean media write 에런, because the name is written the way it sounds, not the way it's spelled.
- The unstressed "uh" vowel is written ㅓ (eo), whatever letter English uses for it.
