하느님
Korean
editEtymology
editFirst attested in the 太平詞 / 태평사, 1598, as Early Modern Korean 하ᄂᆞ님 (Yale: hanonim), in a Confucian context. Equivalent to 하늘 (haneul, “heaven”) + 님 (nim, “lord”).
Rare in traditional Korean folk religion, where heaven-worship is not a major religious belief. The Catholic usage is perhaps a calque of Chinese 天主 (Tiānzhǔ, “Lord of Heaven; God”).
Pronunciation
edit- (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ha̠nɯnim]
- Phonetic hangul: [하느님]
