Names of Seoul Seoul has been known in the past by the successive names Wiryeseong (위례성; 慰禮城, Baekje era), Namgyeong (남경; 南京, Goryeo era), Hanseong (한성; 漢城, Joseon era) or Hanyang (한양; 漢陽). During the period of Japanese colonial rule (1910-1945), Seoul was named Keijō (京城) (in Japanese) or Gyeongseong (경성; 京城) (in Korean) . Its current name is ''Seoul'', and this name has been in use since at least 1882, at times concurrently with other names. ==Etymology of "Seoul"== Seoul originated from the Korean word “seo'ul” meaning "capital city". An etymological hypothesis presumes that the origin of the native word “seo'ul” derives from the native name ''Seorabeol'' (서라벌; 徐羅伐), which originally referred to Gyeongju, the capital of Silla, then called ''Geumseong'' (금성; 金城). Also believed to be the origin of the name Seoul is "Se-ultari," which literally means "new walls" or "new castle." Seoul was a walled castle city from its construction in the early 15th century until most parts of the walls were destroyed during the Korean War (1950-1953).
