Uee is Korean in Origin.
Uee is a modern romanization of the Korean stage name 유이, read in Revised Romanization as Yui and pronounced roughly Yoo-ee. Its root language is Korean, and the earliest securely documented form is the Hangul 유이 adopted professionally by the singer and actress Kim Yu-jin in 2009. Hangul records sound rather than meaning: 유 represents yu and 이 represents i. Without an assigned hanja spelling, the name has no fixed literal meaning.
Public visibility is chiefly tied to Kim Yu-jin, former member of After School and television actor. English spellings vary because 유이 may be rendered Yui, Yu-i, U-ie, or Uee, the last functioning as her stylized stage spelling. It is not prominent in older Korean naming records and is better understood as a contemporary entertainment-associated form than a traditional given name. Outside Korea, the spelling may be confused with Japanese Yui, though the linguistic background is separate.
