So-hee (소희) is a Korean feminine given name formed from Sino-Korean elements, with meaning determined by the hanja chosen for each syllable. Multiple “So” (소) characters are used in names - such as 素 “pure/simple,” 昭 “illustrious/bright,” or 小 “little/gentle” - and pair with common “Hee” (희) characters like 熙 “radiant/bright,” 希 “hope,” 喜 “joy,” or 禧 “felicity.” This yields combinations such as “pure joy” (素喜), “illustrious radiance” (昭熙), or “pure hope” (素希). The name appears in Hangul as 소희; specific hanja are selected by families to convey desired virtues.

In modern usage, So-hee is widely recognized in South Korea and has been especially common from the late 20th century onward. It is predominantly feminine and associated with public figures like singer-actress Ahn So-hee and actress Han So-hee. Variant spellings include Sohee, So-hui (Revised Romanization), and So-hŭi (McCune–Reischauer); the hyphen is optional in English contexts.
