Kwan

Kwan is a unique boy's name of Korean origin, though it is relatively rare as a standalone given name. Derived from the Sino-Korean character 권 (gwan), Kwan is more commonly used in traditional two-part Korean names, where it signifies the traits one would share with family members. Some sources point to Kwan meaning "strong" or "generous" in this case. In Korean, Kwan is a noun used to refer to various manufactured objects like "canals," "coffins," and "tubes," and it also means "building" or "hall" in hangeul. K-pop fans might recognize Kwan from Boo Seung-kwan, the talented lead singer of Seventeen. It is associated with martial arts schools of Taekwondo, such as Chung Do Kwan and Song Moo Kwan. Additionally, Kwan could be related to the Korean surname Gwan, meaning "tube," or the Chinese Kwon meaning "Quan village."
