Saju Naming - Korean Baby Names, Explained
Scores Korean name candidates against a child's saju using sound-element (음오행) theory, and shows the traditional reasoning for every point — which element the chart is missing, whether the name fills it, and how the sound flows from the surname.

What it does
Give it a birthdate and a surname. It generates name candidates, scores each one against the child's saju, and tells you why each score came out that way.
How the score is built
Three axes, and nothing else:
| Axis | What it asks |
|---|---|
| 보완 Fill | Is an element completely absent from the chart, and does the name's sound supply it? (heaviest factor) |
| 흐름 Flow | Does the energy pass from surname into given name, or collide? |
| 과다 Excess | Does the name pile more onto an element the chart already has too much of? |
Every point traces to one of these. There is no hidden number.
Sample output
This child's chart: 木1 火0 土2 金0 水1 — 火 and 金 are empty, 土 is heavy
1. 홍나은 (88) — "Fills what the chart was missing"
· Fill — 火 was absent from all four pillars; ㄴ supplies it (+18)
· Flow — 土→火 generating, 火→土 generating (+20)
· Excess — 土 was already heavy and the name adds it once (−8)
(58 + 18 + 20 − 8 = 88)
2. 홍지호 (88) …
3. 홍민서 (74) …
Sound-element mapping
The five element groups come from where the consonant is articulated:
| Element | Initial consonants |
|---|---|
| 木 Wood | ㄱ ㅋ |
| 火 Fire | ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅌ |
| 土 Earth | ㅇ ㅎ |
| 金 Metal | ㅅ ㅈ ㅊ |
| 水 Water | ㅁ ㅂ ㅍ |
Notes and limits
- This is 음오행 (sound-element) naming, not 수리성명학. Stroke-count schools need a database of several thousand personal-use Hanja; this skill derives everything from Hangul sound instead, which is why it can always show its work.
- Consonant assignment follows mainstream modern practice (
ㅇㅎ=土,ㅁㅂㅍ=水). Schools that follow the original Hunminjeongeum readㅇㅎ=水 andㅁㅂㅍ=土, so results can differ — the skill says so rather than hiding it. - Four pillars are read (year stem/branch, day stem/branch). Birth time is not required.
- Works for renaming adults (개명) as well as newborns.
- Answers in English by default, Korean on request.
A reference, not a verdict. Parents name the child.
