Korean name

A Korean personal name consists of a family name and a given name, both of which are generally composed of Hanja. In Korean, the given name follows the family name. When using European languages, some Koreans keep the original order, while others reverse their names to match the Western naming pattern of family name following the given name. This same approach is followed by members of many other East Asian societies in such contexts.
