Leeseo

Leeseo is a Korean given name commonly used for females. In Hangul it is written as a two-syllable given name and can be romanized in several ways, including Leeseo, Leeseo, or Leeso, depending on personal or family preference. The name is often encountered in contemporary Korean naming patterns that favor two-syllable, modern-sounding forms.

The meaning of Leeseo depends on the hanja chosen to represent each syllable. Because there are multiple hanja readings for both syllables, the overall meaning can vary widely and may convey traits such as brightness, grace, auspiciousness, or intellect. In practice, many parents select hanja that express favorable qualities they wish to bestow on their child, or they may choose to write the name in purely phonetic Hangul without hanja.

Leeseo has gained visibility in Korean popular culture as a contemporary given name. It is used by individuals in various fields, including arts, entertainment, sports, and academia, and it also appears in fictional works to convey a modern, relatable identity. The name’s appeal lies in its simplicity and rhythm, which fit current naming trends in Korea and among Korean communities abroad.
