Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is Korean name numerology (성명학)?
Korean name numerology (Seongmyeonghak) is a traditional East Asian system that interprets fortune based on the total stroke count of the Chinese characters (hanja) in a name. It analyzes fortune, health, relationships, and wealth.
Q. Can I analyze names without knowing the hanja?
Yes! Enter any Korean name and the tool automatically suggests representative hanja and their meanings. For the most accurate result, use the actual hanja characters.
Q. How is the compatibility score calculated?
The tool compares the total stroke counts of both names and applies five-elements (오행) interactions — harmony (상생) increases the score, conflict (상극) lowers it, producing a score from 0 to 99.
Q. What is the connection between stroke count and five elements?
The last digit of a stroke count maps to an element (1·2=Wood, 3·4=Fire, 5·6=Earth, 7·8=Metal, 9·0=Water). Productive cycles are auspicious; destructive cycles are inauspicious.

Name numerology and five-element theory are rooted in East Asian cultural tradition, not modern science. Treat results as entertainment and cultural reference only.

Expert Knowledge: Korean Name Meaning, Hanja & Numerology Analyzer
Korean name numerology (Seongmyeonghak, 姓名學) is a name-interpretation system derived from Chinese I-Ching thought and refined across Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. It classifies a name's hanja stroke counts into 4 or 5 "pillars" (元亨利貞) and interprets their numerological significance. According to five-element productive cycles (Wood→Fire→Earth→Metal→Water→Wood), harmonious element sequences in a name are considered auspicious. This is a cultural tradition, not a science — use it for fun and reference only.
