Eunjung as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Eunjung

What is the meaning of the name Eunjung ?

The baby name Eunjung is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced UHN-juhng.

Eunjung is Chinese, Korean in Origin.

Eunjung represents Korean 은정, a two-syllable given name normally analyzed as Sino-Korean morphemes chosen through hanja. Because Hangul records sound rather than semantic value, its literal sense depends on the registered characters: Eun may be 恩 favor, grace, 銀 silver, or 慇 attentive; Jeong/Jung may be 貞 upright, chaste, 靜 quiet, 婷 graceful, or 情 feeling. A common reading such as 恩貞 gives favor and uprightness.

The name belongs to the Korean pattern of disyllabic given names, often written with or without a hyphen in romanization. Revised Romanization favors Eun-jeong, while Eunjung and Eun-jung reflect personal or older spelling habits. It is predominantly feminine, especially among South Koreans born in the late twentieth century, and is familiar through figures such as singer-actress Hahm Eun-jung and Olympic curler Kim Eun-jung. Diaspora use follows Korean communities, with spelling shaped by passports and family preference.
