이스턴
The English name Easton is written as 이스턴 in Korean.
이스턴 is used as the Korean transcription for the name "Easton".
Did you know?
- Korean has no 'st' consonant cluster, so 이스턴 must insert a vowel sound to break up the consonants, turning two English syllables into three Korean syllables.
- When using a foreign name like 이스턴 in a sentence, Koreans often add the suffix 씨 'ssi' after the name to be polite.
- While 이스턴 is the phonetic name, the Korean word for 'east' is 동 'dong'. This single character is used as a building block for many place names and surnames in Korea.
