Megan in Korean 메건
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Megan as 메건: two syllables, said me-geon. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Megan letter by letter
Each Hangul block is one syllable, built from a consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant underneath.
ㅓ (eo) in 건 is the open "uh" of "sun", not an "o".
- Two even beats, me-geon: 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 메건 already sounds natural to Korean ears. In casual sentences Koreans often add 이 after a name that ends in a consonant: 메건이 왔어 ("Megan's here").
Why it's spelled 메건
Spelled letter-by-letter you'd get 메갠, but Korean media write 메건, 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.
