A Korean name for Lilith
The closest Korean sound match for Lilith is 리린 (Ri-Rin) — composed from syllables Koreans actually use in given names — different from simply spelling Lilith in hangul (that transliteration is 릴리스, covered below). Each option below pairs Korean syllables with hanja, the Sino-Korean characters that give a name its meaning.
How to write Lilith in Korean
In hangul, Lilith is written 릴리스 (ril-li-seu) — three syllables: 릴 (ril) · 리 (li) · 스 (seu).
That spells the sound of Lilith 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 Lilith is 리린, below.
Compare the two forms: 릴리스 uses three syllables and 리린 uses two. The shared 리 carries over, while the Korean name match drops 릴 and 스 and adds 린.

What 리린 feels like
As a name match for Lilith, 리린 combines a current, contemporary feel with a soft, feminine lean in today's usage. That name form sits apart from the transliteration 릴리스 (ril-li-seu). Both 리 (ri) and 린 (rin) carry the fire sound, linked here to warmth, energy, and brightness.
Is 리린 a name Koreans actually use?

What keeps it natural is its parts: 리 (ri) 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.
