Jae-min is Korean in Origin.
Jae-min (Korean: 재민) is a Sino-Korean given name built from Jae (재) and Min (민), with meanings set by the hanja selected. Common choices include 才/재 “talent,” 在/재 “to exist,” and 敏/민 “quick, clever” or 珉/민 “jade.” Thus Jae‑min can suggest “talented and quick” or “enduring, jade-like virtue,” depending on the characters registered.
In South Korea it is chiefly masculine but also used unisex. Two-syllable hanja names of this kind have stayed popular from the mid‑20th century onward and are borne by many entertainers and athletes. Standard romanization is Jae‑min (Revised Romanization), with variants Jaemin, Jae Min, and Jemin; in McCune–Reischauer it is Chae‑min. Written only in Hangul, its meaning remains undefined until hanja are chosen from the government‑approved list.
Jae-min is extremely rare. There are only 4 recorded uses on record, spread over 4 countries.
