FAQ

What is stroke count analysis?

Stroke analysis (Suri Seongmyeonghak) judges fortune by combining Hanja stroke counts. It analyzes 5 aspects: Heaven (surname strokes+1), Human (last surname char + first name char), Earth (full name strokes), Outer, and Total.

Is a Hanja name required?

Legally, only a Korean (Hangul) name is required. Hanja names are optional but can be registered and are culturally valued for their meanings.

Why are there multiple Hanja for one syllable?

Multiple Chinese characters can share the same Korean pronunciation. For example, 'Min' can be 民(people), 敏(agile), or 旻(sky), each with different meanings and strokes.

Should I change my name if strokes are bad?

Stroke analysis is traditional, not scientific. Name meaning, pronunciation, and ease of use matter more. Don't obsess over stroke counts.

Can single-syllable names be analyzed?

Yes. For single-syllable names, Earth element uses the single character's strokes + 1.

How are suggested names selected?

Names are suggested based on positive Hanja meanings combined with favorable stroke analysis results, with gender-appropriate characters.
