Chun-ja (name)

Chun-ja is a Korean given name, typically for females. It is composed of two Sino-Korean morphemes.

• Chun (春): Generally means "spring," representing youth, renewal, and a new beginning. It can also signify growth, abundance, and vibrancy.

• Ja (子): Is commonly used as a suffix in female names, often conveying endearment or refinement. It can also be interpreted as "child" or "seed," further connecting to notions of potential and new life.

Therefore, the name Chun-ja carries connotations of youthful beauty, the promise of spring, and a delicate, refined nature. Like many Korean names, the precise interpretation can vary slightly based on the specific hanja (Chinese characters) used to write it. Its popularity peaked during certain eras in Korean history and is less frequently used for newborns in the 21st century.
