MiAe

Miae is a romanized form of a Korean feminine given name. In Hangul, it is written 미애. Korean given names are typically composed of two syllables, and the meaning of each syllable depends on the hanja chosen for that syllable. For the syllables mi (미) and ae (애), common hanja combinations give meanings such as beauty (美) and affection or love (愛), but many other hanja are also possible. Therefore the overall meaning of the name can vary according to the characters selected by the parents.

The name is used primarily in South Korea and within Korean communities abroad. It is often romanized as Miae, Mi-Ae, or MiAe, reflecting different romanization schemes and personal preference. In Korean, the pronunciation is typically two syllables with a light emphasis on the first.

Because hanja determine the meaning, there is no single fixed interpretation of Miae without the specific characters. Outside Korea, the spelling may be adapted or simplified, but the pronunciation tends to be preserved.

Notable people bearing the given name Mi-ae or Miae have appeared in various spheres, such as arts, academia, and public life; however, no individual with this name stands as a universally recognized figure in English-language sources.
