Chun-ja

Chun-ja is a traditional Korean given name. Like many Korean names, it is composed of two Sino-Korean morphemes, each represented by a Hanja (Chinese character). The specific Hanja used for 'Chun' (춘) and 'Ja' (자) can vary, leading to different meanings, but 'spring' (春) for Chun and 'child/daughter' (子) for Ja are very common and give the meaning 'daughter of spring'.

This name was particularly popular in Korea during the early to mid-20th century. However, its popularity has significantly declined in recent decades as naming trends have shifted towards more modern and unique combinations of Hanja, or entirely native Korean names. Names ending in '-ja' (자) are now often perceived as old-fashioned.
