Yong-ha is Korean in Origin.

Yong-ha (용하) is a Korean masculine given name formed from Sino-Korean elements yong and ha. Its meaning varies by chosen hanja: Yong may be 龍 ‘dragon,’ 勇 ‘brave,’ or 永 ‘eternal,’ while Ha can be 河 ‘river,’ 夏 ‘summer,’ or 霞 ‘rosy mist.’ Combinations yield readings such as ‘dragon river,’ ‘brave summer,’ or ‘eternal summer.’ Both syllables have multiple characters on the South Korean Supreme Court’s approved list, so parents select meanings to taste.

Used across the late Joseon period into modern Korea, the name saw steady 20th‑century use and remains familiar; notables include actor-singer Park Yong‑ha (1977–2010). Romanization varies as Yong‑ha, Yongha, or Yong Ha; in North Korean practice when 龍 is intended, the form Ryong‑ha (룡하) may appear. It should not be confused with Yeong‑ha/Young‑ha (영하), a distinct name built on different syllables and meanings.
