Why this spelling
Korean writes foreign names by sound, not by letter. Hangul groups sounds into square syllable blocks, and every block needs a vowel — which is why a name like Sophia can end up with more blocks in Korean than it has syllables in English.

소피아 is standard, matching 소피 for 'Sophie'.
Using it in real life
- Delivery apps and bank forms. Korean systems often reject Latin characters in a name field. Paste the Hangul above.
- Your registration card. The ARC prints your name exactly as it appears in your passport, in Latin script. The Hangul form is for everyday use, not official documents.
- Introducing yourself. Korean gives every syllable roughly equal length and no stress. Say it flat and evenly — that is what sounds natural.
