Nam-sun

Nam-sun (남순) is a Korean given name. It is generally a masculine name, though the use of Korean names is often flexible regarding gender depending on the hanja (Chinese characters) used to write the name. The meaning of the name varies greatly depending on the hanja chosen for each syllable. Common hanja combinations might relate to qualities such as "south," "obedience," "gentleness," "purity," or "excellence." As with most Korean names, the specific meaning intended by the parents would depend on the hanja they select. Due to the large number of possible hanja combinations, several individuals may share the same name but have distinct meanings and associated characteristics. The name is not exceptionally common, but neither is it particularly rare.
