Nari (Korean name)
Nari, also spelled Naree, is a Korean feminine given name. Unlike most Korean names, which are composed of two Sino-Korean roots each written with one hanja, "Nari" is an indigenous Korean name: a single word meaning "lily".[1][2] It is one of a number of such indigenous names which became more popular in South Korea in the late 20th century.[1]
