Overview
The CJKI Korean-English Database of Personal Names (KEN) is a bilingual dictionary of names that covers Korean and non-Korean personal names, including Japanese, Chinese and Western names. KEN covers various romanization systems, name type and locale codes, and English equivalents.
A unique feature of this dictionary is that it also includes hanja (Chinese characters used in Korean) for most Korean names. This data was compiled on the basis of precise transcription and transliteration rules, and verified by our Korean editors. It supports the Revised Romanization of Korean, the latest standard published by the Korean government in 2000.
