Sang-mi is a Korean feminine given name written 상미 in Hangul and transcribed Sangmi in Revised Romanization and McCune-Reischauer. The name is built from two one-syllable name elements, sang and mi. In Korean naming practice these syllables are often matched to hanja, Chinese characters read with Sino-Korean pronunciations; South Korea’s name list includes 35 approved hanja read sang and 33 read mi. Because no particular hanja are specified, the literal meaning is not fixed.

Usage belongs chiefly to South Korea and the Korean diaspora, with the hyphen reflecting a common romanization convention for two-syllable given names rather than a separate element. Public bearers include actress Chu Sang-mi, Olympic short-track skater An Sang-mi, television host Oh Sang-mi, actress Nam Sang-mi, and rhythmic gymnast Byun Sang-mi, all born in the 1970s or 1980s. Modern spellings may omit the hyphen or space the syllables.
