  Korean name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Korean personal name consists of a family name and a given name, both of which are generally composed of Hanja.
Korean family names were influenced by Chinese family names, and almost all Korean family names consist of one Hanja (hence are one syllable).
Family names were limited to kings and aristocrats at the beginning, but gradually spread to the commoners during the Goryeo and Joseon dynasty periods.

This affected the morphology of the language, and Korean phonology described it in terms of yin and yang: If a root word had yang ('bright') vowels, then most suffixes attached to it also had to have yang vowels; conversely, if the root had yin ('dark') vowels, the suffixes needed to be yin as well.
These include several that represent Korean sounds that have since disappeared from the standard language, as well as a larger number used to represent the sounds of the Chinese rime tables that were never used in Korean at all.

 Korean Names
When a new name was created, the family was given some land by a king and the city where the land was located became known as 'bon' or origin.
Also, when people with only given names (lower class, and domestic slaves) were allowed to use (or to buy) family names, they preferred to use one out of existing names instead of creating new and thereby recognizable names for their own benefit.
Since a generational name is not a middle name in American sense, and not exactly a given name either, Koreans are not sure how to anglicize their names.

Choe Sung Hee was a darling of the world of artistic dancing during 1930 to 1945.
In South Korea, her contribution to Korean art is seldom acknowledged; in fact, until recently, it was against law to mention her name because she went north and worked for Kim Il Sung.
Furthermore, there are some Korean nationalists who find fault with her collaboration with the Japanese, claiming that she danced for the Emperor of Japan.

 A Concise History of Korea
The name by which we call the land is derived from Koryo, the dynasty that ruled the peninsula from 935 to 1392, which in turn is an abbreviated form of Koguryo, the name of an older kingdom.
Koreans are an ethnically homogenous Asiatic people who have shared a common history, language, and culture since at least the 7th century A.D., when the peninsula was first united.
Korean culture was greatly enriched by this contact, but it also meant that the energetic Korean people have been dominated either by China or Japan for most of their history.
