My TIL with a bit of assumption

So, Korean can use Chinese characters, Hanja, especially for names, for syllables in Korean (e.g. 안녕, annyeong, has the Hanja 安寧, safe and peaceful).
Daol's "Da" is a pretty common syllabic for names, both women and men, but I was curious about "Ol." So, I looked it up, and one of the possibly Hanja is 膃, which means "fat." So, now I can only think the author made the name "Da-ol" to mean "much fat" (多膃).
