Ha-neul, also spelled Ha-nul, is a Korean unisex name. Unlike most Korean given names, which are composed of two single-syllable Sino-Korean morphemes each written with one hanja, Ha-neul is an indigenous Korean name: a single two-syllable word meaning "sky". As a name, it may loosely be interpreted as an exhortation to "spread your dreams high like the sky".[1] It is one of a number of such native names (called 고유어 이름, goyueo ireum) which have become more popular in South Korea in recent decades.[2][3]
In some cases, parents also choose to register hanja to an indigenous name like this. On the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be registered for use in given names,[4] there are about 30 different hanja available for 하 (ha), but only one hanja is available for 늘 (neul) – 乻, a Korean-coined character only for representing a phonetic value.[5]
