In Korea, the A. ochotense and A. microdictyon are called sanmaneul (, "mountain garlic"). While the official name for A. ochotense is Ulleung sanmaneul (, "Ulleung Island mountain garlic"), the most common name used by Korean people is myeongi (), whose romanized form (along with Siberian onion) is an English name of the plant. Myeongi is also called myeonginamul (), because it is considered a namul (vegetable).
