About the name Matthew in Korean
Matthew drops its 'th' in Korean, leaving 매슈 (Mae-syu), which sounds like 'mae-shoo'. The spelling 매튜 is also common in media. 민수 (敏秀), quick and excellent, is the closest fit, with the 'm' opening and a 'su' that is nearly 'syu'. 민우 (敏宇), quick beneath the sky, keeps the 'm' and the final 'u' and is the calmest. 은수 (恩秀), excellent grace, is chosen partly for meaning, because Matthew means 'gift of God' and 恩 means grace. Its closing 수 also echoes 'syu', and it is the warmest of the three. All three stay compact, with two syllables each, which keeps the name clean and unhurried. A speech detail: 민 ends in a consonant and 우 begins with a vowel, so the sounds link and 민우 is spoken like mi-nu, softer than it looks.
