Na-rae

Na-rae, also spelled Na-lae, is a Korean feminine given name.[1] Unlike most Korean names, which are composed of two Sino-Korean roots each written with one hanja, "Narae" is an indigenous Korean name: a single word meaning "wing".[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]
