Just as people's names have meanings, so do the names of countries carry deep significance. So, what does the name “Daehan Minguk” (Republic of Korea) mean? The name “Daehan Minguk” was created to signify the continuation of sovereignty from the Daehan Empire (the Korean Empire), asserting that the sovereignty it gave up was invalid and should be restored. The term “Daehan” was taken from the Daehan Empire to emphasize this historical continuity. “Minguk” means “a country where the people are the sovereign.” It reflects the idea of a republic governed by its citizens. The word “Daehan” refers to the ancient confederacies of Korea — Mahan, Jinhan, and Byeonhan — and it is also understood to symbolize the Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. Therefore, the name “Daehan Minguk” can be interpreted as “a nation governed by the people of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla — the Three Han.” ## Images 1.
