Meaning & Origin of Nal

Meaning: Day.

Origin: Korean (native Korean).

A common claim: Glossed as meaning 'day, winged' on Korean baby-name sites. Actually: 날 by itself just means 'day' -- 'winged' conflates it with the separate, longer words 날개 ('wing') and 날다 ('to fly'), which only share the first syllable.
