DAWon

Dawon is a Korean given name written in Hangul as 다온. It is used for people of any gender and is part of the broader trend toward two-syllable Korean names with a soft, contemporary sound.

The meaning of Dawon depends on the hanja characters chosen to represent each syllable. A common pairing is 多 (many) and 温 (warm), which can be interpreted as “abundant warmth” or “many warm qualities.” However, since many families opt to write the name in Hangul or select different hanja combinations, the exact meaning can vary and is not fixed by the sound alone.

In Romanization, Dawon reflects one way to render the pronunciation in English, but variants such as Da-on or Daon may also be used depending on the transcription system or personal preference.

Culturally, Dawon has gained visibility as a modern Korean given name in recent decades and is found among younger generations in South Korea as well as the Korean diaspora. Like many Korean names, its perceived meaning is largely determined by the hanja chosen for the syllables, while the Hangul form emphasizes the phonetic reading. Overall, Dawon exemplifies contemporary naming practices in Korea that favor two-syllable names with gentle phonetics.
