What is the meaning of the name Hyun-jin ?

The baby name Hyun-jin is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced HYUN-jin.

Hyun-jin is Chinese, Korean in Origin.

The earliest recoverable form of Hyun-jin is Korean 현진, a two-syllable given name whose written analysis usually depends on selected hanja, Sino-Korean characters of Chinese origin. The first syllable, hyeon, may be 賢, wise or virtuous, 顯, manifest or bright, or 鉉, a metal handle or ritual hook. Jin is often 眞, true, 珍, precious, or 鎭, to pacify or stabilize, so the literal sense is character-specific.

In modern Korean naming, 현진 is used for boys and girls, though romanized Hyun-jin is frequently encountered on male bearers. Revised Romanization gives Hyeon-jin or Hyeonjin; older or personal spellings include Hyon-jin and Hyunjin. The name appears among South Korean athletes and entertainers, including baseball pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin and singer Hwang Hyun-jin, which has made the spelling familiar beyond Korea since the 2010s.
