Origin and meaning of Min-seo
Min-seo is a modern Korean name, very common for girls but sometimes used for boys too. It is made of syllables written in Sino-Korean characters: min suggests 'cleverness, quickness, kindness' and seo an 'auspicious omen', with shades depending on the hanja. Together they blend wit and good fortune. For years it has ranked among South Korea's most chosen girls' names, while staying unusual outside East Asia.
