Etymology 1
Sino-Korean word from 高麗
Proper noun
고려 • (Goryeo) (hanja 高麗)
- (history) Goryeo
- 고려대학교 ― goryeodaehakgyo ― Korea University
- (Russia) Korea (a geographic region consisting of two countries in East Asia, commonly known as South Korea and North Korea; formerly a single country)
- (Russia) Korea (a peninsula in East Asia, containing the countries of North Korea and South Korea; in full, Korean Peninsula)
Usage notes
Even among modern Koryo-mar speakers, who are mainly heritage speakers and more proficient in Russian, 한국 (han'guk) appears to also be in common use, possibly due to influence from South Korea's increased economic prestige in the past few decades and the fact that non-elderly Koryo-saram who speak Korean virtually all speak and learn standard Korean from South Korea. 조선 (joseon) seems to used particularly by more older speakers when referring to Korea as a whole, though 고려 seems to have largely replaced this.
Synonyms
- 고려조 (高麗朝, Goryeojo, “Goryeo Dynasty”)
