Injong is Chinese, Korean in Origin.
Injong is the Revised Romanization of Korean 인종, the Sino-Korean reading of Hanja 仁宗. Its root language is Classical Chinese, where 仁, rén in Mandarin and in in Korean, denotes humaneness or benevolence; 宗, zōng/jong, originally indicated an ancestral temple, lineage head, or honored ancestor. The earliest secure form for the name is the Chinese written compound 仁宗, literally benevolent ancestor or humane forebear.
In Korea, Injong is best known not as an ordinary given name but as a royal temple name, borne by King Injong of Goryeo and the twelfth Joseon monarch, whose personal name was Yi Ho. Such names reflect Confucian court vocabulary rather than Buddhist naming. Related readings include Mandarin Renzong and Vietnamese Nhân Tông. As a modern Korean baby name, Injong is uncommon; In-jong may appear as a two-syllable masculine given name.
