Best Answer

the correct name for Korea is actually Dae Han Min Gook which means great republic if you translate it. When the merchants and various nations came to Korea, the name Korea is what they heard and that name spread worldwide. But if you want the direct translation, it means Great republic ( Republic of Korea).
