What is the meaning of the name Hae-sun ?

Hae-sun is Korean in Origin.

Hae-sun is a Korean given name, usually feminine but technically unisex. It combines the syllable hae (해) with sun (순 or 선), and its sense depends on the hanja or native-Korean roots chosen. Romanization varies: Hae-sun, Haesun; when the second syllable is 선 the form Hae-seon (also Hae-sŏn) is used, and older spellings may show Hae-soon.

Common hanja for hae include 海 “sea, ocean” and 解 “to untie; understanding,” while a native option 해 means “sun.” For sun, frequent hanja are 順 “gentle, harmonious; compliant” and 純 “pure,” yielding readings like “oceanic purity” or “sunlit harmony.” If written 선, options include 善 “good, virtuous” or 先 “foremost,” producing Hae-seon. The element 순 featured in many mid‑20th‑century women’s names, giving the name a classic feel; today, pairs with nature‑evoking 海 are popular. Spelling and meaning are fixed by the chosen characters on registration.
