Did you know?
- Koreans often use 'English names' for business or social clubs to create a more egalitarian atmosphere. Someone named 레지나 in a company setting might be using it specifically to bypass the strict hierarchy of Korean age-based titles.
- If you were looking for a Korean equivalent of the Latin meaning 'queen', you would use a completely different native word rather than the name 레지나.
- A Korean person might mistake 레지나 for a stage name or a pseudonym used by a K-pop idol or an influencer, as foreign names are rarely used as birth names in Korea.
