뜻
Used to ask someone for their name.
문화적 배경
In Spain, 'tuteo' (using tú) is very common even with strangers in shops or cafes. You will hear '¿Cómo te llamas?' much more often than in Latin America. Mexicans are generally more formal with people they don't know. It is safer to start with '¿Cómo se llama?' if the person is older than you. In Argentina, they use 'voseo'. Instead of '¿Cómo te llamas?', you might hear '¿Cómo te llamás?' (note the accent on the last 'a').
Drop the 'Tú'
You don't need to say '¿Cómo te llamas tú?'. The 'te' and the '-as' ending already make it clear you are talking to 'tú'.
Watch the 'S'
If you say '¿Cómo te llama?', you are actually asking 'How does he/she call you?' which makes no sense in this context.

자주 묻는 질문
2 질문Yes, but it's very abrupt. It's like saying 'Your name?' in English. '¿Cómo te llamas?' is much more polite.
Spanish uses 'how' (cómo) because you are asking 'how' a person identifies themselves, not 'what' the object of their name is.
