About the name Roha

Roha (로하) is a two-syllable name, sometimes written as Ro-ha to clearly separate the syllables. As with many Korean names, the meaning is shaped by the hanja chosen for each syllable. For the first syllable, 로 (ro), options include 露 (dew) or 路 (road, path). For 하 (ha), choices include 河 (river) or 夏 (summer).

Combining these, a name like 露河 (dew river) evokes a serene, natural image, while 路夏 (road, summer) suggests a journey through a vibrant season. Another possibility is 露夏 (dew summer), bringing to mind refreshing mornings. While the hanja selection fixes the meaning, Roha is mostly given to girls. Considering the two distinct syllables, writing it as Ro-ha can help with pronunciation for those unfamiliar with Korean.

  • "o" is a pure, rounded "oh", without the "w" glide English adds in "go".
  • Korean "r" at the start of a syllable is a light tap of the tongue, between an English r and l, like the "tt" in American "butter".
