After marriage, women usually lost their {{Transliteration|ko|rr|amyeong}}, and were called by a {{Transliteration|ko|rr|taekho}} ({{Korean|hangul=택호|hanja=宅號|labels=no}}), referring to their town of origin.<ref name="EncyKorea" />

In addition, [[teknonymy]], or referring to parents by their children's names, is a common practice. It is most commonly used in referring to a mother by the name of her eldest child, as in "Cheolsu's mom" ({{lang|ko|철수 엄마}}). However, it can be extended to either parent and any child, depending upon the context.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hwang |first=Shin Ja J. |title=Terms of Address In Korean and American Cultures |page=9 |publisher=trinity.edu |year=1991 |url=http://www.trinity.edu/org/ics/ICS%20Issues/01%20ICS%20I%202/ICS-1-2-Hwang.pdf |work=Intercultural Communication Studies I:2 |access-date=2008-09-11 |archive-date=2006-08-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060823123916/http://www.trinity.edu/org/ics/ICS%20Issues/01%20ICS%20I%202/ICS-1-2-Hwang.pdf |url-status=dead}}</ref>
