A Korean name for Ezra
The closest Korean sound match for Ezra is 아라 (A-Ra) — composed from syllables Koreans actually use in given names — different from simply spelling Ezra in hangul (that transliteration is 에즈라, covered below). Each option below pairs Korean syllables with hanja, the Sino-Korean characters that give a name its meaning.
How to write Ezra in Korean
In hangul, Ezra is written 에즈라 (e-jeu-ra) — three syllables: 에 (e) · 즈 (jeu) · 라 (ra).
That spells the sound of Ezra 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 Ezra is 아라, below.
라 is shared by 에즈라 and 아라. The transliteration has three syllables and the Korean name has two, so the name match drops 에 and 즈 and adds 아.

What 아라 feels like
The two syllables selected for Ezra give 아라 a current, contemporary feel. Together they also carry a soft, feminine lean in today's usage; 에즈라 (e-jeu-ra) remains the direct spelling. Two elements shape the sound: earth for 아 (a), carrying steadiness, sincerity, and trust, then fire for 라 (ra), carrying warmth, energy, and brightness.
Is 아라 a name Koreans actually use?
As a full name, 아라 is a composition for Ezra rather than a common Korean name. Its building blocks are thoroughly current: 아 (a) and 라 (ra) are both used in South Korean given names today, so the result reads naturally rather than dated or foreign.
