Na-moo
Na-moo, also spelled Na-mu, is a Korean unisex given name.[1] Unlike most Korean names, which are composed of two Sino-Korean roots each written with one hanja, "Namoo" is an indigenous Korean name: a single word meaning "tree", "wood" or "firewood".[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]
