A Korean name for Audrey
The closest Korean sound match for Audrey is 오린 (O-Rin) — composed from syllables Koreans actually use in given names — different from simply spelling Audrey in hangul (that transliteration is 오드리, covered below). Each option below pairs Korean syllables with hanja, the Sino-Korean characters that give a name its meaning.
How to write Audrey in Korean
In hangul, Audrey is written 오드리 (o-deu-ri) — three syllables: 오 (o) · 드 (deu) · 리 (ri).
That spells the sound of Audrey in Korean letters — a transliteration, not a name. A Korean given name is composed from syllables Koreans actually use in names, anchored to hanja that carry meaning. The closest one for Audrey is 오린, below.
Compare the two forms: 오드리 uses three syllables and 오린 uses two. The shared 오 carries over, while the Korean name match drops 드 and 리 and adds 린.

What 오린 feels like
As a name match for Audrey, 오린 combines a current, contemporary feel with a soft, feminine lean in today's usage. That name form sits apart from the transliteration 오드리 (o-deu-ri). 오 (o) carries the earth sound, linked here to steadiness, sincerity, and trust; 린 (rin) shifts to fire, associated with warmth, energy, and brightness.
Is 오린 a name Koreans actually use?
오린 itself is uncommon as a Korean given name and was composed to connect with Audrey. What keeps it natural is its parts: 오 (o) and 린 (rin) are living syllables still used in names today, so the full name reads naturally rather than foreign. In fact, the syllable 린 also appears in A-rin (아린), one of the most-registered girls' names of recent years.
