Choon is in Origin.

Choon is an East Asian given name and name element rooted in Chinese characters and filtered through multiple romanization traditions. In Korean it reflects Sino-Korean syllables such as Chun (춘, often from 春 “spring” or 淳/純 “pure”) and, by older spellings, sometimes maps to Jun (준, e.g., 俊/駿). In Southern Chinese diaspora usage (notably Malaysia and Singapore), family spellings in Hokkien/Teochew/Cantonese commonly render characters like 俊, 淳, or 駿 as Choon.

Across the 20th century, it appeared in Korea in feminine compounds (Choon-ja, Choon-hee), while Chinese communities favored it as a masculine middle or given element (e.g., Choon Peng), with occasional standalone Anglicized use today. Variants include Chun, Jun, Joon, and numerous hyphenated forms. Meaning depends on the chosen character: 春 “spring; renewal,” 俊 “talented; handsome,” 淳/純 “pure; genuine,” 駿 “swift; excellent (steed),” 舜 “Shun,” or 峻 “lofty,” conveying vitality, virtue, or excellence.
