About the name Charles in Korean
Charles is a two-beat name in Korean because the 'r' is not pronounced: 찰스 (Chal-seu). Of the meaning names, 찬우 (燦宇) is the closest, since 찬 (chan) is the nearest syllable to 'Char' and 우 takes the soft ending. It is bright and joyful, 'brilliance under the sky'. 찬수 (燦秀) has the same opening and a 'su' that echoes the 'seu', so it is the most direct fit for the ending, 'brilliant and excellent'. 창우 (昌宇) shares the ch- sound with a rounder vowel and a stronger feel, 'prosperity under the sky'. In many Korean families, siblings or cousins of one generation share a syllable, called dollimja. If your family follows that custom, check which of 찬, 창 or 우 is already taken before you decide.
