Meaning: given name (name)
How do you pronounce it?
The romanization is rukeu.
Did you know?
- If you were looking for the biblical 'Saint Luke' in a Korean context, you would not use this transliteration, but rather the Hanja-based name 누가 (Nu-ga).
- In Korean, the name 루크 is most strongly associated with the character Luke Skywalker from the Star Wars franchise, as the name is extremely rare for native Koreans.
- The final 'k' sound in English is absorbed into the vowel 'eu' in 루크, meaning you are technically saying 'ru-keu' rather than ending on a hard consonant.
Examples in context
- 저는 루크입니다I am Luke.
- 안녕하세요, 루크 선생님.Hello, Teacher Luke.
- 제 이름은 루크입니다.My name is Luke.
