Areum, also spelled Ah-reum, is a Korean given name. Unlike most Korean given names, which are composed of two single-syllable Sino-Korean morphemes each written with one hanja, Areum is an indigenous Korean name (고유어 이름), a single two-syllable word meaning "beauty". It is one of a number of such native names, along with others such as Ha-neul ("sky"), Seul-ki ("wisdom"), and Sora ("conch shell") that have become more popular in South Korea in recent decades.[1][2]
People with this name include:
- Hong Ah-reum (born 1989), South Korean actress
- Na Ah-reum (born 1990), South Korean road bicycle racer
- Noh Ah-reum (born 1991), South Korean track speed skater
- Lee Areum (born 1994), South Korean idol singer
- Shannon Arrum Williams (born 1998), British-born South Korean idol singer
