Do-yoon

At a Glance: Name: Do – Meaning: way, path (if from 道) – Origin: Korean (meaning depends on the Hanja used) – Gender: Boy – Pronunciation: doh-YOON

---

Do is a boy's name of Korean origin, pronounced doh-YOON. Its meaning depends entirely on which Hanja (Chinese character) is used to write it — so while you may see it explained as "way" or "path," from the character 道, that reading isn't confirmed without knowing the specific character behind a particular Do. You might see the claim that Do means "the way of virtue" — that's plausible since 道 is a common Hanja for "way," but it can't be confirmed without knowing the exact character used, and other Hanja read as "Do" carry entirely different meanings.
