          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

                    Histoire des bourses de valeurs

                    L’ histoire des bourses de valeurs retrace les étapes de l'émergence d'espaces de valorisation des obligations, qui dominent ainsi jusqu'au milieu du XIX e  siècle. Auparavant, le financement des armements navals vénitiens et hollandais sous la forme d'actions reste une exception. Elles prennent leur essor au XVIII e  siècle sur un marché déjà mondialisé, soutenu par les banques centrales et le Trésor public. L'émergence de la presse écrite, qui publie des listes de cours, puis du télégraphe, qui les diffuse rapidement, permet aux entreprises de faire connaître leur activité et aux actions de prendre le relais vers le milieu du XIX e  siècle, le développement des chemins de fer, de l'extraction de matières premières et précieuses s'ajoutant à celui des banques et des canaux. La Bourse reste affaire de territoires et concessions. Jusqu'au XX e  siècle, les entreprises industrielles n'y prennent qu'une place minoritaire, avant d'y connaît...
