Meaning & History
From the Korean word 천사 (Cheon-Sa), which comes from Sino-Korean 天使. The character 天 (Cheon (천)) primarily means "Heaven" and by extension, "Sky," and the character 使 (Sa (사)) means "Messenger." The name means "Angel" or "God's Messenger," but can also be interpreted in a more literal sense as "Heavenly Messenger" or "Messenger of the Sky." There also is the alternate meaning, coming from Sino-Korean 天師, which means "Celestial Master (Leader of Zhengyi Dao)" in Taoism. This name can also be spelled with the Hanja 千 meaning "Thousand" or 川 meaning "River; Stream" for Cheon (천), and 史 meaning "History," 絲 meaning "Silk; Thread" and 賜 meaning "Gift" for Sa (천).
