What is the meaning of the name Chan-hee ?

The baby name Chan-hee is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced 찬희; Romanization: Chan-hee (also Chan-hui); IPA: [t͡ɕʰan.hi].

Chan-hee is Korean in Origin.

Chan-hee (찬희) is a Korean given name built from two Sino-Korean syllables, chan and hee. Its meaning varies with the chosen hanja: chan may be 燦 "brilliant, radiant" or 讚 "praise," among others, while hee is often 喜 "joy," 熙 "brightness, prosperity," or 希 "rare, hope." Typical pairings yield readings like "radiant joy," "praised brightness," or "rare brilliance." The name is unisex but more commonly masculine in modern usage.

As a classic two-syllable Korean name, it fits the long tradition of Sino-Korean given names prevalent through the 20th century and still widely used alongside native-Korean choices. Spelling variants include Chanhee, Chan Hee, and the romanizations Chan-hui (RR) and Ch’an-hŭi (MR); Hee may also appear as Hui in formal systems, and Chani functions as a casual nickname. Numerous hanja for both elements are officially permitted, allowing families to tailor auspicious nuances.
