Minho is a Korean boy's name built on Sino-Korean characters, with a short, clean two-syllable sound: MIN-hoh. You may come across the meaning 'quick-witted, broad-minded' attached to it, but that particular gloss only fits one specific pair of Hanja characters — choose a different pair for the same syllables and the name carries a different meaning entirely. What stays constant is the name itself: compact, modern-sounding, and easy to say across different languages.
