Chung-Hee is Korean in Origin.
Chung-Hee is a Korean given name built from the Sino-Korean elements Chung/Jeong (정) and Hee/Hui (희). Its meaning varies with the chosen hanja, drawing from dozens of government-approved characters: Jeong can mean upright, chaste, quiet, crystal, or governance; Hee often conveys joy, hope, or brightness. Romanization differs by system and era: McCune–Reischauer renders it Chŏng-hŭi, Revised Romanization is Jeong-hui, while personal spellings such as Chung-Hee, Jung-hee, or Jeong-hee are common.
Used for all genders, the name has deep historical reach. Scholar-calligrapher Kim Jeong-hui (1786–1856, “Chusa”) bears an early example, and 20th‑century figures like President Park Chung-hee popularized the older “Chung” spelling abroad. In South Korea, -hee endings surged for girls in the mid to late 1900s, though the name remains unisex. Hyphenless forms (Chunghee, Junghee) also appear in passports and diaspora records.
