Arjun in Korean 아르준
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Arjun as 아르준: three syllables, said a-reu-jun. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Arjun 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 (아르) is one quick tap of the tongue, like the tt in American "butter": closer to a soft d than an English r.
- 르 carries the filler vowel ㅡ (eu). Keep it short and light, almost just the consonant.
- Give all 3 syllables the same weight. Korean has no strong stress, so it's a-reu-jun, evenly.
How Koreans would call you
Korean given names are almost always two syllables (after a one-syllable family name), so at 3 syllables 아르준 reads as a foreign name at a glance. In casual sentences Koreans often add 이 after a name that ends in a consonant: 아르준이 왔어 ("Arjun's here").
Why it's spelled 아르준
Spelled letter-by-letter you'd get 아전, but Korean media write 아르준, because the name is written the way it sounds in Hindi, not the way it's spelled.
- Korean follows the Hindi sound: vowels are read as written and the r is pronounced (ㄹ/르) rather than dropped as in English.
