han-won

A korean name. Literally translates to "heartbroken lover." Based on the Korean folk tale Han-Won Bap Shin Am, about a villager who proposes marriage to the local princess. After giving Han-won his first kiss, she leaves him after a week, and he is heartbroken, and nows never to love again.

People named Han-won have been known to dislike certain types of people. For example, will not talk to tall, masculine men of Chinese origin.

Traditionally, Han-won is usually a name given by parents who expect their child to be anti-social. Parents predict their child's social behavior with an ancient Korean ritual. They go to the village restaurant and order the traditional Korean delicacy, Bi-Bim-Bap, which features a raw egg on top of rice and meats. By tradition, if the egg does not fully cook through, the child is expected to be anti-social.

Nowadays, more modern and urban Korean parents just use Han-won as a regular name, with no special meaning.
