Yosan romanizes an East Asian given name; in Chinese and Korean the meaning lives in the written characters, not the sound, so no single gloss fits all bearers. We present it honestly as character-dependent rather than assign an invented meaning (said 'YOH-sahn').

In the U.S. it appears only very rarely. Rare, spare, and character-dependent.
