What Are Some Good Korean Names for Male Dogs? Top Picks!

Okay, so I’ve been thinking about getting a dog for a while now, and I’ve finally decided to take the plunge. But here’s the thing – I want a name that’s a bit different, you know? Something that stands out from all the Maxes and Bellas at the dog park. That’s when I started looking into Korean dog names, and let me tell you, it’s been a fun little journey!

First off, I did a little digging into Korea itself. Did you know it’s located on the northeast side of China? And now, it’s divided into North and South Korea. I am always interested in learning about places with amazing history and unique cultures. It’s fascinating stuff.

Anyway, back to the dog names. I figured, since Korea has such a rich culture, they must have some cool names, right? And boy, was I right! I stumbled upon a name, “Aegiya,” which apparently means “baby.” How cute is that for a little puppy?

Then I started thinking about breeds, and I remembered the Jindo, a dog that’s native to Jindo Island in South Korea. It’s also called the Jindo-gyeon. I looked up some pictures, and they’re these beautiful, loyal-looking dogs. Maybe a Jindo deserves a traditional Korean name, I don’t know!

I spent hours going through lists of names, writing down my favorites, and even trying to pronounce them. It was a bit of a challenge, I won’t lie. Some of them have sounds we don’t really use in English, but that’s part of what makes them so unique, right?

• Baekgu (백구): This one means “white dog”.
• Hodu (호두): Meaning “walnut”.
• Sarang (사랑): Which means “love.”
• Bomi (보미): This translates to “spring.”
• Borami (보라미): This one means “valuable” or “worthwhile”

After all this research, I still haven’t made a final decision. There are just too many great options! But I’m leaning towards something short and sweet, maybe two syllables. And it definitely has to be something I can easily yell across the park when my future furry friend decides to chase a squirrel up a tree.

It’s been a fun process, though. Learning about Korean culture and language while searching for the perfect dog name has been a real treat. Now, all I need is the actual dog! I think I am ready to pick up a new family member. I will be more than happy to introduce my dog to everyone.
