Origin:Korean
Meaning:Circle; First; Origin; Plants; Trees
If you’re looking for a name that celebrates the first tiny tot to join your crew, you’ll love the Korean title Won-shik. A masculine moniker, Won-shik’s meaning can change based on the hanja characters used to write it. Won-shik’s first element, Won, could come from 圓 (pronounced won,) a hanja character meaning “circle.” It may also derive from 元, another similarly pronounced character meaning “first” or “origin.” Shik’s definition is a little more challenging to uncover, though it could be related to the element 植, which translates to “plants” or “trees.” As little Won-shik embarks on their life journey, their name could inspire them to lead with kindness and love.
