About the name Lillian in Korean
Why does 이연 start with a vowel when Lillian starts with 'L'? Korean often avoids a leading 'l' or 'r' (the initial-sound rule), so 'Li-' is heard as 이 (i), and that is why many matches begin with a vowel. The name itself is written 릴리언 (Ril-li-eon), where 'eon' sounds like 'un' in 'sun' but rounder. 이연 (怡姸, I-yeon) follows the name beat for beat and means joyful beauty. 하연 (夏姸, Ha-yeon) shares the ending 연 and feels brighter, a 'summer beauty'. 순아 (純雅, Sun-a) is the calm one. It is chosen for meaning, since the lily is a flower of purity and 純 means pure, so the sound link is loose. Read together, the first follows the sound, the second follows a season, and the third follows a flower. All three end softly, so none of them feels abrupt when spoken.
