Jae-ahn is Korean in Origin.

Jae-ahn is a modern Korean given name built from Sino-Korean elements: Jae (재) and An/Ahn (안). Its meaning depends on the chosen hanja. Common options for Jae include 才 “talent,” 財 “wealth,” 在 “to exist,” or 栽 “to cultivate,” while An typically uses 安 “peace, calm” (others include 岸 “shore” or 案 “plan”). Together, parents often intend senses like “talent and peace,” “abundant peace,” or “cultivating calm.” Pronunciation approximates “JAY-ahn.”

Two-syllable hanja-based names have been standard in Korea since the late Joseon era and remain popular in contemporary naming. Jae-ahn is used for all genders, fitting the gentle, virtue-centered trend of recent decades. Romanization varies: Jae-ahn, Jae-an (Revised Romanization prefers “An”), Jaean, or Jae An; the “Ahn” spelling is influenced by the well-known surname Ahn (安). Related components appear in names such as Jae-won, Jae-min, or Ye-an.
