Heung-sik흥식

Heung-sik brings together “to flourish” and “to plant.” Like your name, you are someone who flourishes and plants seeds that grow.

Meaning and hanja

Korean names are usually written with Chinese characters (hanja) chosen for their meaning, so one name can be spelled several ways. Common spellings:

Hanja	Meaning
興植	興 ‘to flourish’ + 植 ‘to plant’ 興(일 흥) + 植(심을 식)
興湜	興 ‘to flourish’ + 湜 ‘clear water’ 興(일 흥) + 湜(물 맑을 식)

Heung-sik is mostly a boy's name.

Revised Romanization: Heung-sik. Say it like heung-seek.

흥ㅎ + ㅡ + ㅇ

식ㅅ + ㅣ + ㄱ

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