Did you know?
- Because 록 (rok) relates to green and 산 (san) means mountain, 록산 is an accidental homonym for 'green mountain', a common theme in classical Korean poetry.
- The sound 'r' and 'l' are represented by the same character ㄹ in Korean, so 록산 could be read as 'Loxan' by a native speaker who has never heard the English name.
- If you were to write the name in a very formal document, you would use the Hangul spelling 록산 rather than any Hanja (Chinese character) equivalents.
