The meaning of the name depends on the hanja chosen. There are 20 hanja with the reading "tae" and 25 hanja with the reading "hee" on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be used in given names.[1] For example:

  • : the first character means "big" or "great", while the second means "joy", expressing a wish by the parents that the child will grow up strong, healthy, and happy[2]

People with this name include:
