Jeong-hui

Meaning & History

Jeong-hui is a Korean female given name. It is a variant of Jung-hee. The name is typically formed from Sino-Korean (jeong) meaning "right, proper, correct" or (jeong) meaning "quiet, still, gentle" combined with (hui) meaning "beauty" or (hui) meaning "bright, splendid, glorious". Other combinations of hanja characters can form this name as well.

Historically, Kim Jeong-hui (1786–1856) was a prominent Joseon-dynasty calligrapher and scholar, and Choe Jeong-hui (1912–1990) was a notable female writer. The name remained popular through the 20th century: ''Jung-hee'' (a variant spelling) ranked fourth among newborn girls in South Korea in 1950 and sixth in 1960.
