Nam-seon, also spelled Nam-sun, is a Korean unisex given name. Its meaning depends on the hanja used to write each syllable of the name. There are five hanja with the reading "nam" and 41 hanja with the reading "seon" on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be used in given names.[1]
