Kim Mi-ran / Mi-ran Kim Explanation: A woman's name. The family name is "Kim" and the personal name is "Mi-ran" (may also be written "Miran" or "Mi-Ran"). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 26 mins (2007-10-09 07:38:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Mi-ran" is the preferred standard under the South Korean romanization system, so that's what I would tend to use in a translation. "Mi Ran", "Mi-Ran" and "Mi-ran" are all used with similar frequency, but "Miran" is much less common. |

김미란 Explanation: 김미란 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2007-10-09 14:49:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- According to the most recent recommendation by the Korean government, this name can be transliterated as "Kim Miran." But all the suggestions other colleagues made are also okay to use. Since it is a person's name, it is up to the person herself whichever way she chooses to use her name. She can say "Kim Meeh-rhan" for example and no body can complain about her choice. Anyway, the recent recommendation recommends: - Last name first as it is used in Korea by Koreans - Using a hyphen between the first and the second syllable of a first name is not necessary, but it is okay to use. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2007-10-09 14:51:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Kim Meeran, Kim Mee-ran, Kim Mi-ran, etc, I can make a quite long list... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2007-10-09 14:52:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Of course, Kim Mi Ran is also okay, if the owner of the name prefers.
