Jeong-hun

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.
