Yi-seul
Yi-seul, also spelled I-seul or E-seul, is a Korean unisex given name.[1] Unlike most Korean names, which are composed of two Sino-Korean roots each written with one hanja, "Yiseul" is an indigenous Korean name: a single word meaning "dew".[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]
