I don't think it is translated as much as it is that every Korean family actually has their own Hanja.
According to Wikipedia's List of South Korean surnames by prevalence
유
can be one of four Chinese characters:
柳, 劉, 兪, 庾
Most Koreans have Hanja names & they would certainly know which their surname is.
If you check out Wikipedia's Appendix:Korean surnames you can see that
여
is the Southern Korean equivalent of
余
while
우
equates to
于, 禹
