Gwonhee

Gwonhee is a Korean personal name that may be used as a two-syllable given name or appear as part of a full name when a surname precedes it. The spelling Gwonhee reflects a common romanization approach; variants include Kwonhee or Kwonee depending on the romanization system and personal preference. In Hangul, it can be written as 권희.

The meaning of Gwonhee depends on the hanja chosen for each syllable. The syllable 권 can be represented by hanja such as 權 meaning power or authority, while 희 can be written with hanja meaning joy (喜) or hope (希), among others. Consequently, combinations can convey ideas like “power and joy” or “authority and hope.” Without specifying the hanja, the exact meaning remains indeterminate, and modern naming often emphasizes sound and aesthetics alongside possible meanings.

Usage and notable instances: As a given name, 권희 is possible but not among the most common two-syllable Korean names. It may appear in Korea and among Korean communities abroad, typically in full names where a surname accompanies 권희 (for example, Kim Gwonhee or Lee Gwonhee). There are no widely known figures whose names are commonly rendered as 권희 in English-language sources; individuals with this name may exist but are not prominent in general reference works.
