Did you know?
- While 'Alisha' is a common name in English, writing it as 알리샤 makes it immediately recognizable to Koreans as a non-Korean name.
- When calling someone named 알리샤 in a formal setting, a Korean speaker would never use the name alone, but would add a title like 알리샤 씨 (Alisha-ssi).
- Since 알리샤 is a loanword, it is written in the hangul alphabet based on sound rather than meaning. This means the name does not have inherent hanja characters, which most traditional Korean names possess.
