Overview

Analyze the stroke count of Chinese characters (Hanja) in a Korean name and evaluate fortune based on the Five-Grid (Ogyek) system of East Asian onomastics. This is a cultural reference tool for fun and tradition, not based on scientific evidence.

Formula

Five-Grid (Ogyek) Calculation:
- Wongyeok (Heaven Grid) = Surname stroke count + 1 (single-character surname)
- Hyunggyeok (Person Grid) = Last character of surname + First character of given name
- Igyeok (Earth Grid) = Total stroke count of given name
- Jeonggyeok (Outer Grid) = Wongyeok + Igyeok - Hyunggyeok
- Chonggyeok (Total Grid) = Total stroke count of full name

* Each grid number is classified as auspicious, neutral, or inauspicious.

How to Use

1. 1Enter the surname (in Hanja or Hangul).
2. 2Enter the given name (in Hanja or Hangul).
3. 3If only Hangul is entered, representative Hanja stroke counts are used.
4. 4Click the 'Analyze' button.
5. 5Five-Grid analysis results with fortune interpretation are displayed.

Tips

• ✔Traditional practice uses the original (unmodified) stroke count of each character.
• ✔The same Hangul syllable can correspond to different Hanja characters with different stroke counts.
• ✔Name analysis based on stroke counts is a cultural tradition, not a scientifically validated method.
• ✔Consider practical factors such as pronunciation, meaning, and ease of use when choosing a name.
• ✔This tool is for entertainment and cultural reference; it does not replace professional naming consultation.
