Did you know?
- The sound 브 (beu) at the start of 브라이언 is added because Korean phonology generally prohibits words from starting with a standalone 'r' sound.
- When addressing someone named 브라이언 in a social setting, Koreans will almost never use the name alone and will instead add 씨 (ssi) or a title to avoid being rude.
- If you were to write 브라이언 using Hanja (Chinese characters), you would actually be changing the name into something that looks like a traditional Korean name rather than a transliteration.
