About the name Arthur in Korean
Arthur's 'th' has no Korean twin, so the middle becomes an 's', and the final 'r' stays silent: 아서 (A-seo). The same habit explains why 'f', 'v' and 'z' also shift into other sounds in Korean, which is why English spellings often change on the way. Among the three matches, 안서 (安瑞, An-seo) is the closest, almost 아서 with a nasal added, and 'peaceful good fortune' is both calm and bright. 아준 (雅俊, A-jun) keeps only the opening 아, and it sounds gentler and more refined, with 'elegant and outstanding'. 상우 (尙宇, Sang-u) was chosen partly for meaning, because Arthur is often associated with nobility and 尙 means to hold noble. Its 's' is close to 서, but the sound match is looser, and the mood is the most formal and steady of the three.
