3 syllables · Spelled by the National Institute of Korean Language's rules for foreign names.
Why it sounds a little different
- Korean doesn't stack consonants, so a short “eu” (ㅡ) slips in — that's where 프·크 comes from.
- Korean has no F. It's written ㅍ (p), so the F in Frank comes out as a soft P.
- R and L share one letter, ㄹ — Korean doesn't tell them apart.
Say it in Korean
제 이름은 프랭크예요.
Je ireumeun peuraengkeu-yeyo. — My name is Frank.
To be polite, Koreans add 씨 (ssi) after a name: 프랭크 씨.
