Beom-seok

Beom-seok is a Korean given name, typically masculine. Like many Korean names, it is composed of two Sino-Korean roots (hanja) which determine its meaning. The meaning of the name varies depending on the specific hanja used to represent each syllable.

The first syllable, "Beom" (범), can be represented by hanja with meanings such as:

• 範 (범) - model, pattern, law, example
• 凡 (범) - ordinary, commonplace, all, every
• 泛 (범) - float, drift, vast

The second syllable, "Seok" (석), can be represented by hanja with meanings such as:

• 錫 (석) - tin (metal), bestow
• 碩 (석) - large, great, eminent
• 奭 (석) - grand, magnificent, bright

Therefore, the overall meaning of "Beom-seok" depends entirely on the specific hanja characters chosen when the name is given. Combinations of the hanja above (or others) can result in diverse interpretations. It's a relatively common name in South Korea.
