Seomoon is Korean in Origin.

Seomoon is a Korean name rooted in Sino‑Korean forms. As a compound surname, it matches the hanja 西門 “west gate,” written 서문 in Hangul; romanizations include Seomun, Sŏmun, Seo‑mun, and Seo‑moon. As a modern given name, it is parsed as Seo (서) + Mun/Moon (문), with meanings set by hanja: Seo may be 瑞 “auspicious,” 曙 “dawn,” 緒 “beginning,” or 抒 “express,” while Mun can be 文 “literature; culture” or 門 “gate.”

Two usage paths exist: the surname is rare in Korea, linked to Chinese Ximen lineages; the given name is contemporary and unisex. Meanings span the fixed toponymic “west gate” to aspirational pairings like “auspicious literature,” “dawn of letters,” or “expressive culture.” Spellings vary (Seomun, Seo‑moon; also spaced Seo Mun). Though uncommon globally, Seomoon aligns with recent Korean trends combining classical hanja semantics with globally readable spelling.
