A UNESCO City of Design, Seoul was named the 2010 World Design Capital. ==Etymology== (詳細はWirye-seong (, during the Baekje era), Hanju (, during the Silla era), Namgyeong (, during the Goryeo era), Hanseong (, during both the Baekje and Joseon eras), Hanyang (, during the Joseon era), Gyeongseong (, during the colonial era). Its current name originated from the Korean word meaning "capital city," which is believed to be derived from the word ''Seorabeol'' (), which originally referred to Gyeongju, the capital of Silla.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=yahoo )〕 The reason behind Seoul having so many names has its reasons. During Japan's annexation in Korea, "Hanseong" () was renamed to "Gyeongseong" (, or ''Keijo'') to prevent confusion with the hanja '漢', as it also refers to the Han Chinese. In reality, the ancient name of Seoul, Hanseong (), originally had the meaning of "big" or "vast". Unlike most place names in Korea, "Seoul" has no corresponding hanja (Chinese characters used in the Korean language). On January 18, 2005, Seoul government officially changed its official Chinese language name to ''Shou'er'' () from the historic Hancheng (), of which use is becoming less common.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=goodcharacters.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seoul」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
