Hyun-Jung is Korean in Origin.

Hyun-Jung (현정) is a Korean given name formed from the Sino-Korean syllables hyun and jung. Its sense varies with the hanja chosen: hyun can mean “wise/virtuous” (賢), “profound/mysterious” (玄), or “brilliant” (炫), while jung often denotes “chaste/virtuous” (貞), “upright/correct” (正), “quiet/serene” (靜/靖), or “auspicious” (禎). Common pairings include 賢貞 (“wise and chaste”), 玄正 (“deep and upright”), and 炫晶 (“brilliant and crystalline”). The South Korean government authorizes numerous hanja for each syllable, so individual meanings differ.

Used for all genders but now leaning feminine, Hyun-Jung rose to broad popularity in South Korea in the late 20th century, peaking for girls from the late 1970s through the 1990s; it remains familiar through actresses, athletes, and artists bearing the name. Variant romanizations reflect different systems and preferences: Hyeon-jeong (Revised Romanization), Hyŏn-jŏng (McCune–Reischauer), and Hyun-Jeong or Hyun Jung in common English usage.
