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.
