4 syllables · Also written 스테파니. · 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 스 comes from.
- Korean has no F. It's written ㅍ (p), so the F in Stephanie comes out as a soft P.
Say it in Korean
제 이름은 스테퍼니예요.
Je ireumeun seutepeoni-yeyo. — My name is Stephanie.
To be polite, Koreans add 씨 (ssi) after a name: 스테퍼니 씨.
