Su, also spelled Soo, is a rare Korean surname, a single-syllable Korean given name, and an element in many two-syllable Korean given names.[1] As given name meaning differs based on the hanja used to write it. There are 91 hanja with the reading "su"[2] on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be registered for use in given names.
秀(su) meaning "excellent, beautiful, flower, flowering, elegant, talent", 修(su) meaning "study, learn, mend, repair, beautiful, excellent", or other Hanja's meaning.
As a family name, Su(Soo) may be written with two different hanja, each indicating different lineages. The 2000 South Korean Census found a total of 199 people and 54 households with these family names.[3]
The more common name means 'water' (水; 물 수). The surviving bon-gwan (origin of a clan lineage, not necessarily the actual residence of the clan members) as of 2000 included Gangneung, Gangwon Province (46 people and 12 households); Gangnam, Seoul (41 people and 9 households); Gimhae, South Gyeongsang Province (17 people and four households); Gosan (today Wanju County), North Jeolla Province (11 people and three households); and nine people with other or unknown bon-gwan.[3][4] According to the Joseon Ssijok Tongbo (조선씨족통보; 朝鮮氏族統譜), the name originated in Wuxing (today Wuxing District, Huzhou), Zhejiang, China.[4][5]
The less common name means 'shore' or 'bank' (洙; 물가 수). For the 75 people with this family name, the surviving bon-gwan as of 2000 included Dalseong County, Daegu (46 people and 15 households); Miryang, South Gyeongsang Province (24 people and eight households); and five people with other or unknown bon-gwan.[3][6]
