In-guk is Chinese, Korean in Origin.

In-guk is a Korean masculine given name, written in Hangul as 인국 and often represented in hanja as 仁國. Its root material is Sino-Korean: 仁, read in, denotes humaneness or benevolence in the Confucian ethical vocabulary, while 國, read guk, signifies a country, state, or realm. The earliest securely identifiable written form for the name is the Korean spelling 인국, with meaning dependent on the hanja chosen by the family.

Two-syllable given names built from hanja morphemes became the dominant Korean naming pattern in the late Joseon and modern periods, and In-guk fits that convention. Spellings vary with romanization systems, producing Inguk, In-gook, and In-kuk. Public recognition outside Korea has been helped by singer and actor Seo In-guk, whose given name is written 仁國. The name remains culturally Korean rather than a translated form in neighboring languages.
