Chan Jun is most often a Cantonese-style Chinese full name pairing the surname Chan (陳; Chen in Mandarin) with the given name Jun. Jun can be written 俊 'talented,' 君 'gentleman,' 軍/军 'army,' 均 'equal,' or 駿/骏 'swift steed.' In Korean, Chan‑jun (찬준) uses hanja like 燦/讚 'brilliant/praise' and 俊/準/浚/峻 'talented/standard/clear/lofty.' Overall meanings evoke praised brilliance and ability; the name skews masculine but can be unisex.

Korean spellings include Chan-jun and Chan Joon. Other variants are Tan Jun (Hokkien/Teochew), Chin Jun (Hakka), and Chan Chun for the Cantonese reading of 俊.
