Seung-hi is Korean in Origin.
Seung-hi is a Korean given name (Hangul 승희) formed from Sino-Korean elements whose meanings vary with the chosen hanja. Seung (承/昇/勝/丞/僧, among others) can signify "to inherit," "to rise," or "to excel," while Hi/Hee/Hui (喜/熙/希/禧/僖 etc.) commonly conveys "joy," "brightness," or "hope." Typical pairings yield interpretations such as "victorious joy," "rising brightness," or "inherited blessing," though families select specific characters to fix the sense.
Used for all genders but especially women from the mid-20th century onward, Seung-hi feels both classic and contemporary in Korea and its diaspora, borne by poets, athletes, and artists. Romanization varies: Seung-hui is the Revised Romanization; Seung-hee is widely used in English contexts, Sung-hee reflects vowel simplification, and Sŭng-hŭi appears in McCune–Reischauer. The hyphen is optional (Seunghee). Seung-hi itself is a streamlined spelling that balances the Korean pronunciation of 희, somewhere between "hee" and "hwi," with ease of reading in English.
Seung-hi turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. However you look at it, very few people share it.
