Meaning & Origin
Jeong-hun (also spelled Jung-hoon or Jung-hun) is a Korean masculine given name. It was a popular choice for baby boys in South Korea during the mid-to-late 20th century, ranking tenth in 1960, first in 1970, and third in 1980. The name is typically composed of two Sino-Korean syllables: jeong (from hanja 正, meaning "right, proper, correct") and hun (from hanja 勛, meaning "meritorious deed, rank"). However, many other hanja character combinations are possible for both syllables, so the meaning can vary depending on the parents' choice.Notable BearersNumberous notable South Koreans bear a variant of this name:Kim Jong-hun (born 1956), North Korean footballerKang Jung-hoon (born 1976), South Korean footballerYeon Jung-hoon (born 1978), South Korean actorKim Jeong-hoon (born 1980), South Korean singer and actor, member of Sechs KiesPark Jung-hoon (born 1988), South Korean footballerKim Jung-hoon (born 1989), South Korean footballerIm Jung-hoon (born 1990), stage name J-Hoon, South Korean singer, member of B.I.GKim Jeong-hoon (born 1991), South Korean football playerLee Jung-hoon (born 1991), stage name Yoon So-ho, South Korean actorWang Jeung-hun (born 1995), South Korean golferMoon Jung-hoo (born 197(?), South Korean actor)A variant form is Jung-hoon.
