Min-Jun

Min-Jun is a popular modern Korean given name for males. Like many Korean names, it is composed of two Sino-Korean syllables, each with multiple possible hanja (Chinese characters) and thus multiple meanings. The specific meaning of the name depends on the hanja chosen by the parents. This flexibility allows for a wide range of positive attributes to be conveyed through the name.

The popularity of Min-Jun surged in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, becoming one of the most frequently chosen names for boys in South Korea. Its pleasant sound and positive connotations contribute to its widespread appeal. The combination of 'Min' (敏, meaning 'quick, clever, sharp' or 珉, meaning 'jade-like stone') and 'Jun' (俊, meaning 'talented, handsome' or 準, meaning 'standard, accurate') offers parents many auspicious choices.
