About the name Katherine in Korean
Katherine begins with a hard 'k', and Korean must choose between 가 and 캐. Since g/k, d/t, b/p and j/ch are not split the way English splits them, a Korean ear hears the two as close. The name is written 캐서린 (Kae-seo-rin), where 'th' simplifies to 's' and 'kae' has the 'a' of 'cat'. 서린 (瑞潾, Seo-rin) matches the last two beats exactly, and many Koreans would shorten the name this way. It feels light and noble: 'auspicious clarity'. 가린 (嘉潾, Ga-rin) keeps a k-like opening and the closing 린, and it is the brighter, happier one. 순아 (純雅, Sun-a) is chosen for meaning: Katherine is often linked to the Greek word for pure, and 純 means pure. It is the calmest of the three, with a loose sound link.
