Amelia in Korean 어밀리아
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Amelia as 어밀리아: four syllables, said eo-mil-li-a. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Amelia 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 밀리 is a clear English l, as in "hello", not an r.
- ㅓ (eo) in 어 is the open "uh" of "sun", not an "o".
- ㅇ at the top of 아 is silent, so 아 is just the vowel: a.
- Give all 4 syllables the same weight. Korean has no strong stress, so it's eo-mil-li-a, evenly.
How Koreans would call you
Korean given names are almost always two syllables (after a one-syllable family name), so at 4 syllables 어밀리아 reads as a foreign name at a glance. With foreign names some Koreans skip 야 and just say 어밀리아 or 어밀리아 씨.
Why it's spelled 어밀리아
Spelled letter-by-letter you'd get 아멜리아, but Korean media write 어밀리아, because the name is written the way it sounds, not the way it's spelled.
- An l between vowels is written twice (final ㄹ + ㄹ), so Koreans say a clear l instead of a tapped r.
- The unstressed "uh" vowel is written ㅓ (eo), whatever letter English uses for it.
