Madam Oh

Madam Oh (sometimes stylized as "Madam O") is a form of address and title used in some East Asian cultures, particularly Korea, to respectfully refer to a married woman. It is generally used as a polite way to address a woman whose given name is not known or when a more formal title is preferred.

The "Madam" portion is a common English title of respect for women, indicating marital status, while "Oh" is a frequent Korean family name (surname). Therefore, "Madam Oh" would specifically denote a married woman whose family name is Oh.

The level of formality associated with "Madam Oh" can vary depending on the specific social context and relationship between the speaker and the person being addressed. In some situations, it might be considered somewhat formal or even old-fashioned. In more casual settings, the given name, along with appropriate honorifics, would likely be used instead.

The use of "Madam" combined with a Korean surname like "Oh" is not exclusive to Korean speakers, and can be used by non-Korean speakers as well, to show respect within the Korean cultural context.
