Jae Sun is Korean in Origin.

Jae Sun is a Korean given name formed from two Sino-Korean syllables. Jae (재) can be written with various hanja such as 才 “talent/ability,” 財 “wealth,” or 在 “to exist,” while Sun may be either 선 (seon) or 순 (sun), likewise represented by many characters: 善 “good/virtuous,” 線 “line,” 仙 “immortal,” or 純/順/淳 meaning “pure,” “compliant/gentle,” or “honest.” Because the meaning depends on the chosen hanja, Jae Sun is inherently multivalent and unisex.

In use, -sun/-soon names (순) were especially popular for girls in early-mid 20th-century Korea, whereas -seon (선) and the prefix Jae- have remained common across genders in recent decades. Spellings vary: Jae-sun, Jae Sun, Jae-seon, Jae Seon; older McCune-Reischauer yields Chae-sŏn (재선) or Chae-sun (재순). Parents often combine characters to convey wishes like “virtuous talent,” “pure ability,” or “enduring goodness.”
