Seoyeon, of Korean origin, is a harmonious blend of two distinct yet complementary sounds: Seo and Yeon. The name's pronunciation follows the typical rules of Hangul, the Korean alphabet, with 'Seo' pronounced /sɛ/ and 'Yeon' as /jʌn/. This results in a balanced, melodic name that rolls off the tongue effortlessly. Seoyeon is composed of two Hanja characters: 世 (se, meaning "world" or "era") and 必 (yeon, meaning "necessary"). Thus, the name Seoyeon translates to "Necessary World," carrying a profound philosophical connotation that underscores its uniqueness.
Seoyeon saw 5 newborns enter the world each year from 2013 onwards, making up a total of just 5 babies born with this unique name over that period.
