Bit-na

Bit-na (pronounced and sometimes romanised Bin-na) is a Korean feminine given name.[1] Unlike most Korean given names, it is not composed of Sino-Korean morphemes which can be written with hanja, but is an indigenous Korean word: the root form of the Korean verb binnada (빛나다), meaning "to shine".[2]
