Etymology and Pronunciation

Choi is written with the Hanja character 崔, meaning "a governor who oversees the land and the mountain".

In Korean, 최 is usually pronounced Шаблон:IPA-ko "Chwe" or “Chey” except by some older speakers who pronounce it Шаблон:IPA-ko (this vowel sound is similar to the German ö [ø]). In English, it is most often pronounced Шаблон:IPAc-en "Choy", which sounds clearly different to its proper pronunciation but some go by “Chey”.
