Thanx for trying  ;-) . This is the story behind my question:
My husband is Korean. He's adopted. I am Dutch and we have a son together. I want a tattoo of my sons name in Korean. But we both don't know anything about the Korean language. I've read a lot lately about Hangul on the internet but I didn't find my son's name in Hangul. There is a singer from the USA who's last name is the first name of my son. So I typed his name in at Google and asked to search in Korean pages. With the Hangul alphabet next to it I figured out how to write it. But I don't know for sure that it's correct, so that's why I hope someone can give me my son's name based on the characters. So that I can be sure it's correct  :-)
But when I see the translations of tears I'm getting the feeling it's not correct  :blush:  :-)

Hi cafid, welcome aboard! ^_^

My wife is Korean, and she said, there is no name like 달런 in Korean.

Let me get this strait: You have a son with a Korean name, but you don't know anything about the Korean language. Can you tell me, who came up with the name for your son?

Do you know the meaning of your son's name? Along with the name in latin characters it should be possible to figure out the Hanja and the Hangeul writing. If you don't know the meaning, it is possible to get the name in Hangeul with a certaincy of maybe 90% and a Korean could figure out some popular Hanja for that name. But they will be likely wrong.

Regards, Johannes

No my son's name is English/American

It means "son of the sea"

I think his name is "Darron". Literal transferd to hangeul it's 달런.

His name is Dylan.
I typed in "Bob Dylan" at google and ended up on this website:

http://www.aladdin.co.kr/search/wsearchresult.aspx?AuthorSearch=밥+딜런+(Bob+Dylan)@123294&BranchType=2

You see this coming back everytime: 밥 딜런 (Bob Dylan).
So with the Hangul alphabet next to it I thought that this 딜런 has to mean Dylan.

With this website:

http://www.lifeinkorea.com/language/korean.…?Subject=wri…

I made the above characters.

( Your probably laughing right now  :-D )

Ahhh...

We were a bit confused, because you wrote 달런 in your first post. You typed "ㅏ" instead of "ㅣ" by mistake.

So there is another thing: Koreans transfer Names into Hangeul so that the people, who are not capable of reading roman letters, can read western names. So "밥 딜런" is just a literal transferation and do not clam to have an own meaning.

I hope this brings you a bit further.

Yes I saw that later because of the way you all wrote it, sorry  :-)

Thank you, that's clear to me. But now I still wonder what's the best way to translate "Dylan" to Hangeul.

I think the translitaration "딜런" you found fits best to your son's name "Dylan". But maybe some Korean friends here have another suggestion.

Is this correct?

[Image: http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h234/cafid/Dylanhorizontaal.jpg]

The idea of Johannes (translating the meaning of his name) sounds great to.

Dylan means "son of the sea".
And if I am correct (I hope so  ;-)) that can be translated to this "바다의 아들"
