If the person is Korean, the most common spelling is in fact Kwon (either as a first name or surname).

However, it is only a common spelling. Since you are writing in a different alphabet trying to fit into a foreign language, there could be many different legitimate spellings.

But if the person is Korean and you don't have any other information to go on, then I would suggest using "Kwon".

If they are not Korean, I don't know the common spellings for other asiatic regions.

Its Quan. (sounds like whon)

Depends on where the name originated.
