Su-jin

Two syllables, each a single beat: soo-jin. Su-jin is a widely used Korean unisex given name, more often given to girls, pairing su, often drawn from hanja meaning excellent, fortunate, or pure, with jin, meaning precious or truth. The combination reads as a small blessing pressed into sound. It sat among the most popular Korean feminine names of the 1980s and 90s and still appears steadily today, worn by athletes, academics, and novelists. In English the name translates effortlessly, with no consonant clusters to navigate. Grounded, graceful, quietly accomplished, Su-jin is a name that ages well.
