Aisling in Korean 애슐링
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Aisling as 애슐링: three syllables, said ae-syul-ling. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Aisling letter by letter
Each Hangul block is one syllable, built from a consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant underneath.
The double ㄹ in 슐링 is a clear English l, as in "hello", not an r.
- ㅐ (ae) is said like the e in "bed" by most Koreans today, a little more closed than the a in "cat".
- ㅇ at the bottom of 링 is "ng" as in "sing". At the top of a syllable ㅇ is silent.
- Give all 3 syllables the same weight. Korean has no strong stress, so it's ae-syul-ling, evenly.
How Koreans would call you
Korean given names are almost always two syllables (after a one-syllable family name), so at 3 syllables 애슐링 reads as a foreign name at a glance. In casual sentences Koreans often add 이 after a name that ends in a consonant: 애슐링이 왔어 ("Aisling's here").
Why it's spelled 애슐링
Spelled letter-by-letter you'd get 에이스링, but Korean media write 애슐링, because the name is written the way it sounds in Irish, not the way it's spelled.
- It is an Irish (Gaelic) name, and Irish spelling hides the sound: several vowels are silent. Korean writes what you hear, not the letters.
