Explanation:
"혁" has various meanings based on Chinese character 赫 but, the meaning "red" is most widely used for male's name among them. It means "red", further more "passion" or "enthusiasm".

Explanation:
Even after this question settled down::

I, presonally, agree with Hazel Shin.

"hyuk" means basically "red." And is usually adopted for male's name only.

Typically, 'hyuk' has some strong image in sound/pronunciation and it's meaning(s), so it is widely used.

Furthermore, hyuk in Korean means 'shine' or more 'flourish.' So it contains the wish of the family's prosperity.
