  • Ricardo Rattlife memilih Ra Gun-ah sebagai nama Korea-nya.
  • Ia pun menjelaskan makna nama Ra Gun-ah.
  • Gun-ah berarti pemimpin yang kuat sedangkan Ra berasal dari Rattlife.

SKOR.id - Sejak dinaturalisasi menjadi Warga Negara Korea Selatan pada 2017 lalu, pemain asal Hampton, Virginia, Ricardo Rattlife menjelma menjadi pebasket andalan Negeri Ginseng.

Ia menjadi sosok yang membuat Korea Selatan cukup menakutkan di paint area. Korea Selatan pun menjadi tim yang komplet karena sudah hebat di outside area lantaran memiliki penembak-penembak andal.

Setelah dinaturalisasi, ia pun memiliki nama Korea, yakni Ra Gun-ah. Nama inilah yang digunakannya pada nomor punggung di jersey Timnas Korea Selatan.

Rattlife mengatakan, setiap orang asing yang dinaturalisasi menjadi warga Korea Selatan wajib mengganti namanya ke nama Korea.

Saat baru menjalani latihan bersama Korea Selatan, lima tahun lalu, pelatih Negeri Ginseng ketika itu, Hur Jae menyatakan, nama Rattlife memang tidak memiliki nuansa Korea Selatan.

Rattlife pun kemudian mencari-cari nama yang pas untuk menjadi nama Koreanya pada mesin pencarian paling populer di dunia Google.

Hasilnya, ia memilih Gun-ah menjadi nama barunya. Makna dari nama Gun-ah, kata Rattlife paling relate dengan profesinya sebagai pemain basket.

Kata dia, Gun-ah berarti seorang pemimpin yang kuat, seperti tentara. Seorang pemain basket, apalagi berposisi sebagai bigman memang dituntut memiliki fisik yang kuat.

"Ya, saya googling dulu sebelum memutuskan Gun-ah menjadi nama baru. Gun-ah punya arti yang bagus," kata Ra Gun-ah atau Ricardo Rattlife.

"Gun-ah berarti seorang pemimpin. Bukan hanya pemimpin, tapi Gun-ah juga pemimpin yang kuat," ucap Rattlife usai membawa Korea Selatan mengalahkan Taiwan pada laga lanjutan Piala Asia FIBA 2022 di Istora Senayan, Jakarta, Kamis (14/7/22).

Sedangkan nama depan Ra merupakan representasi dari nama belakang atau keluarganya, Rattlife.

Berbeda dengan orang Amerika Serikat (AS) yang nama keluarganya terletak di belakang, nama keluarga di Korea ditaruh di depan.

"Untuk Ra, asalnya dari Rattlife. Itu merupakan nama belakang saya di Amerika," Ra Gun-ah mengungkapkan.
