So-hye
So-hye (소혜) is a Korean given name, most often feminine. It is composed of two Sino-Korean roots. The meaning of the name depends on the hanja (Chinese characters) used to write it. Common hanja combinations include:
- 昭 (so): bright, luminous, clear, obvious
- 慧 (hye): intelligent, wise, clever, understanding
Therefore, a possible interpretation of So-hye could be "bright intelligence" or "clear wisdom." However, other hanja combinations exist and would result in different meanings.
As with most Korean names composed of Sino-Korean roots, parents carefully select the hanja to imbue the name with specific aspirations for their child. The popularity of specific hanja combinations for So-hye fluctuates over time.
It is important to note that the same Korean name can be written using multiple hanja, resulting in different meanings and nuances. Context is often needed to understand the specific meaning intended by the bearer of the name.
