Manon in Korean 마농
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Manon as 마농: two syllables, said ma-nong. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Manon letter by letter
Each Hangul block is one syllable, built from a consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant underneath.
ㅇ at the bottom of 농 is "ng" as in "sing". At the top of a syllable ㅇ is silent.
- ㅗ is a pure "o" with rounded lips. Don't add the w-glide English puts in "go".
- Two even beats, ma-nong: 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 마농 already sounds natural to Korean ears. In casual sentences Koreans often add 이 after a name that ends in a consonant: 마농이 왔어 ("Manon's here").
Why it's spelled 마농
Spelled letter-by-letter you'd get 매논, but Korean media write 마농, because the name is written the way it sounds in French, not the way it's spelled.
- Korean writes French names the French way: nasal vowels like 'an/on' end in ㅇ or ㄴ.
