Hwa Sook is Korean in Origin.
Hwa Sook (Korean: Hwa-suk, 화숙) is a feminine Korean given name formed from the Sino-Korean elements hwa and suk. In Revised Romanization it is Hwa-suk; variants include Hwa Sook, Hwa Suk, and Hwasuk. Pronounced hwa-sook (with u as in "book"), its meaning depends on the hanja chosen. Common choices are Hwa (花 "flower," 華 "splendid," 和 "harmony") and Sook (淑 "virtuous, pure," 肅 "solemn"). A frequent pairing evokes "flowerlike virtue" or "splendid purity." South Korea’s approved-name list offers many hanja for both syllables, allowing tailored nuances.
Use peaked for girls in the mid-20th century, alongside other -sook names (Young-sook, Soon-sook), and has since waned as newer styles rose, lending Hwa Sook a gently vintage tone today. Spellings vary with hyphen or spacing in the diaspora. Related compounds include Hwa-young and Sun-sook, and the affectionate form Suk-i (숙이) may appear in casual contexts.
