About the name Mirinae
Mirinae is a Korean feminine name taken from a native Korean word for the Milky Way. The word survives in regional dialects, notably in Gyeongsang and Jeju, while standard Korean usually calls the galaxy eunhasu, a Sino-Korean term meaning ‘silver river’. Because it is a native Korean word rather than a combination of hanja syllables, Mirinae belongs to the group of pure Korean names, such as Haneul ‘sky’ and Bitna ‘shining’, that have no Chinese characters attached.
