Bo-reum
Bo-reum, is a Korean feminine given name.[1] Unlike most Korean names, which are composed of two Sino-Korean roots each written with one hanja, "Boreum" is an indigenous Korean name: a single word meaning "half-month", "two weeks", "fortnight" and "fifteen days".[2][3] It is one of a number of such indigenous names which became more popular in South Korea in the late 20th century.[2]
