Landon in Korean 랜던
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Landon as 랜던: two syllables, said raen-deon. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Landon letter by letter
Each Hangul block is one syllable, built from a consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant underneath.
The opening ㄹ is a single light tap, halfway between an English r and l. Never roll it.
- ㅓ (eo) in 던 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".
- Two even beats, raen-deon: Korean doesn't stress one syllable over the other the way English does.
How Koreans would call you
Korean given names are almost always two syllables, so 랜던 already sounds natural to Korean ears. In casual sentences Koreans often add 이 after a name that ends in a consonant: 랜던이 왔어 ("Landon's here").
Why it's spelled 랜던
Spelled letter-by-letter you'd get 랜돈, but Korean media write 랜던, because the name is written the way it sounds, not the way it's spelled.
- The unstressed "uh" vowel is written ㅓ (eo), whatever letter English uses for it.
