Did you know?
- In Korea, names like 캐롤라인 are often adopted by people who have converted to Christianity or as a 'English name' for professional use in international business.
- If a Korean speaker were to write this name using pure Hangul without any English reference, they would be following the 'Loanword Orthography Rules' set by the National Institute of Korean Language.
- Because Korean lacks a dedicated sound for the English 'r' or 'l', the 'l' sound in 캐롤라인 is created by stacking a consonant at the bottom of one syllable and the start of the next.
