國濟國 ‘nation’ + 濟 ‘to help across; to aid’
國(나라 국) + 濟(건널 제)
國悌國 ‘nation’ + 悌 ‘brotherly respect’
國(나라 국) + 悌(공손할 제)

Who it's given to

Guk-je is mostly a boy's name.

How to say and write it

국ㄱ + ㅜ + ㄱ
제ㅈ + ㅔ

Each Hangul syllable is a block: first consonant, vowel, then any final consonant. See the stroke order animated in the app.
