Mason in Korean 메이슨
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Mason as 메이슨: three syllables, said me-i-seun. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Mason letter by letter
Each Hangul block is one syllable, built from a consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant underneath.
슨 carries the filler vowel ㅡ (eu). Keep it short and light, almost just the consonant.
- 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 me-i-seun, evenly.
How Koreans would call you
Korean given names are almost always two syllables (after a one-syllable family name), so at 3 syllables 메이슨 reads as a foreign name at a glance. In casual sentences Koreans often add 이 after a name that ends in a consonant: 메이슨이 왔어 ("Mason's here").
Why it's spelled 메이슨
Spelled letter-by-letter you'd get 매손, but Korean media write 메이슨, 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, 메이, because Korean writes each part of the diphthong.
- Korean adds the vowel ㅡ to consonants that have no vowel of their own (슨), which is why Mason has 3 syllables in Korean.
