2 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 브 comes from.
Say it in Korean
제 이름은 니브예요.
Je ireumeun nibeu-yeyo. — My name is Niamh.
To be polite, Koreans add 씨 (ssi) after a name: 니브 씨.
