Bo-reum is a Korean feminine given name. The word itself is a native Korean word meaning "half-month", "two weeks", "fortnight" and "fifteen days" and does not have corresponding hanja.[1][2] However, since Korean given names can be created arbitrarily, it may also be a name with hanja (e.g. 普凜).[3]
