Origin and meaning of Seo-yeon
Seo-yeon is an elegant Korean girls' name combining syllables like 序/瑞 (seo, 'auspicious, propitious') and 娟 (yeon, 'beautiful, graceful'), evoking a calm, good-fortuned beauty. As is typical in Korean, the nuance depends on the chosen hanja. In recent years it has topped the lists of most-registered girls' names in South Korea, while remaining unusual in the rest of the world.
