About the name Ethan in Korean
Ethan is said 'ee-dun' in Korean, as 이든 (I-deun), and Korean media also write it as 에단 (e-dan) or 이선 (i-seon), so all three spellings are in use. The meaning names stay with the long 'ee'. 이한 (怡瀚) is the closest fit, with a 'han' that is almost the 'than', and it feels joyful and calm, 'joyful and vast'. 이안 (理安) is the quietest, 'peace through reason'. 이건 (怡健) has a firmer ending that suits Ethan's meaning of 'firm' or 'enduring'. Because so many forms exist, spelling needs care. Passports use Revised Romanization, and people choose whether to write I-han, Ihan or I Han. It is wise to keep one spelling everywhere, so your records match from the first document onward.
