Ji-won
Ji-won is a Korean given name, most often used for females. It is typically written in Hangul as 지원, and can be written in Hanja in a variety of ways, each giving it a different meaning. As with most Korean names, the meaning depends entirely on the Hanja characters used to represent each syllable.
Common meanings associated with the Ji (지) syllable include:
- 志 (지): will, purpose, ambition
- 智 (지): wisdom, knowledge, intellect
- 枝 (지): branch, limb
Common meanings associated with the Won (원) syllable include:
- 媛 (원): beautiful woman, beauty
- 源 (원): source, origin
- 願 (원): wish, desire
- 援 (원): support, assistance
- 元 (원): first, beginning, fundamental
The specific combination of Hanja characters chosen by parents gives each Ji-won a unique meaning. Due to the large number of possible combinations, it is not possible to give a definitive meaning without knowing the specific Hanja used.
Ji-won is a relatively common name in South Korea.
