Why these spellings are different
Most converters swap English letters for Korean ones, which gives spellings no Korean would write. We start from how your name sounds, then check it against the spelling used in Korean news, subtitles and school books. 1234 names are checked so far.
Example: Sarah is written 세라, not 사라흐. The final h is silent in English, so it has no letter in Korean either.

How Hangul fits together
Korean letters are stacked into square blocks, one block per syllable. A block has a first sound, a vowel, and sometimes a final sound underneath. That is why names are written in squares like the ones above, the same squares Korean children use on 원고지 manuscript paper.
