Amy in Korean 에이미
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Amy as 에이미: three syllables, said e-i-mi. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Amy letter by letter
Each Hangul block is one syllable, built from a consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant underneath.
ㅇ at the top of 이 is silent, so 이 is just the vowel: i.
- Give all 3 syllables the same weight. Korean has no strong stress, so it's e-i-mi, evenly.
How Koreans would call you
Korean given names are almost always two syllables (after a one-syllable family name), so at 3 syllables 에이미 reads as a foreign name at a glance. With foreign names some Koreans skip 야 and just say 에이미 or 에이미 씨.
Why it's spelled 에이미
Spelled letter-by-letter you'd get 애미, but Korean media write 에이미, because the name is written the way it sounds, not the way it's spelled.
- The long a (as in "day") is spelled as two beats, 에이, because Korean writes each part of the diphthong.
