Su-wan is Korean in Origin.
Su-wan is a transnational given name most familiar in Korean use, written in Hangul as 수완. It combines two Sino-Korean syllables, su and wan, each chosen from numerous hanja, so the meaning depends on the characters selected. Common pairings include 秀+婉 (“excellent, graceful”), 守+完 (“to protect, complete”), or 琇+琬 (“fine, lustrous jade”). The name is unisex but trends feminine in contemporary South Korea, where two-syllable hanja names became widespread in the 20th century.
Beyond Korea, Suwan (Thai: สุวรรณ) derives from Pali/Sanskrit suvaṇṇa/suvarṇa, meaning “gold; golden,” and appears as a standalone given name and as an element in Thai personal and family names. Variants and romanizations include Su-wan, Suwan, and Soo-wan; Thai feminine elaborations include Suwannee/Suwanee. Not to be confused with the Korean place-name and given name Su-won (수원), which has a different vowel and etymology.
Su-wan is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 1 time, across 1 country.
