Su Hwan is Korean in Origin.
Su Hwan (수환) is a Korean masculine given name formed from the Sino-Korean syllables su and hwan, each written with various hanja. Common choices for Su include 秀 “excellent, graceful,” 守 “to protect,” 壽 “long life,” and 洙 (a river name); for Hwan, parents often choose 煥 “brilliant, shining,” 桓 “grand, steadfast,” 奐 “abundant,” 歡 “joy,” or 環 “ring, cycle.” Sample pairings such as 秀煥 (excellent + shining), 守桓 (protect + steadfast), or 壽歡 (long life + joy) show how meanings combine.
As with many two-syllable Korean names, Su Hwan has been used from the late Joseon period into modern times, with Hwan elements especially favored in 20th‑century boys’ names. Spellings vary in Romanization: Su-hwan (Revised Romanization), Suhwan, or the popular Soo-hwan/Soohwan to reflect pronunciation; in Hangul it is consistently 수환. Choice of hanja is regulated by South Korea’s official list, so exact meaning depends on the characters selected.
Su Hwan turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. Names like this are usually very rare, tied to a particular region or tradition, or freshly invented. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
