Anthony in Korean 앤서니
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Anthony as 앤서니: three syllables, said aen-seo-ni. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Anthony letter by letter
Each Hangul block is one syllable, built from a consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant underneath.
ㅓ (eo) in 서 is the open "uh" of "sun", not an "o".
- ㅐ (ae) is said like the e in "bed" by most Koreans today, a little more closed than the a in "cat".
- Give all 3 syllables the same weight. Korean has no strong stress, so it's aen-seo-ni, evenly.
How Koreans would call you
Korean given names are almost always two syllables (after a one-syllable family name), so at 3 syllables 앤서니 reads as a foreign name at a glance. With foreign names some Koreans skip 야 and just say 앤서니 or 앤서니 씨.
Why it's spelled 앤서니
Spelled letter-by-letter you'd get 안소니, but Korean media write 앤서니, because the name is written the way it sounds, not the way it's spelled.
- Korean has no th, so th becomes ㅅ (s), the closest sound.
- The unstressed "uh" vowel is written ㅓ (eo), whatever letter English uses for it.
