Morgan in Korean 모건
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Morgan as 모건: two syllables, said mo-geon. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Morgan 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".
- ㅗ is a pure "o" with rounded lips. Don't add the w-glide English puts in "go".
- Two even beats, mo-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 모건 already sounds natural to Korean ears. In casual sentences Koreans often add 이 after a name that ends in a consonant: 모건이 왔어 ("Morgan's here").
Why it's spelled 모건
Spelled letter-by-letter you'd get 모갠, but Korean media write 모건, because the name is written the way it sounds, not the way it's spelled.
- An r after a vowel (before a consonant or at the end) isn't written. Korean spelling follows British-style pronunciation, where that r is silent.
- The unstressed "uh" vowel is written ㅓ (eo), whatever letter English uses for it.
