What is the meaning of the name Hae-sook ?

The baby name Hae-sook is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced [hɛ.suk̚] — 'hae-suk' (Korean: 해숙).

Hae-sook is Korean in Origin.

Hae-sook is a Korean feminine given name written in Hangul as 해숙 and typically built from Sino-Korean syllables whose meanings depend on the chosen hanja. Hae (해) is often from 海 "sea" (and may be understood as "sun" when left in Hangul), while Sook (숙) commonly uses 淑 "pure, virtuous"; together, a frequent pairing 海淑 evokes "virtuous as the sea." Other government-approved hanja for both syllables allow alternative senses such as "understanding," "model," or "solemn," so the name's nuance varies with the characters.

The name belongs to a mid-20th-century cohort of Korean women's names ending in -sook/-suk, and it remains familiar through bearers like actress Kim Hae-sook. Romanization variants include Hae-suk, Hae Sook, and Haesuk; hyphenation and spacing differ by personal and passport conventions. Today Hae-sook conveys classic grace with a gently vintage tone.
