Was my comment above (did no log in)

I have absolutely no knowledge of the Korean language ;  beside my first language does not have "hw" or "wh" sounds.

That said the hanghuls match and I believe Zumisusmi analysis is correct: Yihwa is "an elite woman regular" and the Ewha Institute seems to be an all-woman elite university.

For their own choice of transliteration, no idea, but google translation goes for Ewha.
