About the name Anna in Korean
Anna can be written two ways in Korean: 애나 (Ae-na), with the 'a' of 'cat' and a light 'na', and the older, Bible-style 안나 (An-na), which is also widely used. Choosing hanja matters here, because the same hangul syllable can be written with many different hanja, so families check the characters before registering. 안나 (安娜) is the traditional way to say Anna, so its sound is close to exact, and 安 (peace) with 娜 (graceful) gives 'peaceful grace', a calm and gentle feel. 예나 (藝娜, Ye-na) differs from 애나 only in its opening glide, and 藝 (art) gives it a more noble tone. 하나 (荷娜, Ha-na) shares the final 나 and reads as 'a graceful lotus', the one closest to nature. All three end in 나, so each one stays close to the original ending.
