Hae-won is Korean in Origin.
Haewon (Hae-won, Hae Won; Korean 해원) is a Korean given name formed from Sino-Korean elements; its meaning varies by hanja. Common choices for Hae (海 ‘sea’; 解 ‘to untie/resolve’) and Won (媛 ‘graceful woman’; 園 ‘garden/park’; 源 ‘source’; 元 ‘origin’) yield readings like ‘sea and garden,’ ‘resolve and grace,’ or ‘origin of the sea.’ The name is unisex but today tends to be given to girls.
It has steady 20th–21st century use in Korea and appears in arts and media through singer Oh Hae-won of NMIXX and the title character of Hong Sang-soo’s film Nobody’s Daughter Haewon (2013). Variants include Haewon (solid), Hae-won (hyphenated), and Haewŏn in McCune–Reischauer; spellings shift with romanization rules and personal preference. Hangul: 해원; potential hanja combinations are numerous, allowing meanings linked to the sea, reconciliation, origin, or cultivated spaces.
Hae-won is extremely rare. There are only 3 recorded uses on record, spread over 3 countries.
