Jae-gyu

Jae-gyu (재규) is a Korean given name, typically used for males. It is composed of two Sino-Korean morphemes. The interpretation and meaning of the name vary significantly depending on the specific hanja (Chinese characters used in Korean) chosen to represent each syllable. Common hanja combinations for Jae (재) include those meaning "talent," "ability," "wealth," "material," or "timber." Gyu (규) can be represented by hanja signifying "rule," "standard," "model," "corner," "gem," or "measure." Consequently, the overall meaning of Jae-gyu depends entirely on the specific hanja used when writing the name. There is no single, universally agreed-upon definition. As with many Korean names, parents carefully select hanja to imbue their desired qualities or aspirations for their child.
