What is the meaning of the name Sohee ?

The baby name Sohee is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SO-hee.

Sohee is Chinese, Korean in Origin.

Sohee is a Korean feminine given name, written 소희 in Hangul and often So-hui under Revised Romanization. It belongs to the Sino-Korean naming system: each syllable may correspond to several hanja rather than a single inherited Korean word. So can represent characters such as 昭 bright, 小 small, or 素 plain, while hee/hui may write 喜 joy, 希 hope, or 熙 brightness. A literal reading therefore depends on the registered hanja; combinations often yield senses such as bright joy or modest hope.

The name fits the two-syllable given-name pattern common in Korea, paired with one-syllable surnames such as Kim or Lee. It is mostly female in contemporary records and is familiar through South Korean entertainers, including Ahn So-hee of Wonder Girls. In diaspora use, spellings vary: Sohee is common in English, So-hui follows official romanization, and Japanese contexts may render it in katakana.
