Jae-yul is Korean in Origin.

Jae-yul is a Korean given name typically written in Hangul as 재율 and built from Sino-Korean elements: Jae (재) and Yul (율/률). Meanings vary with the hanja selected from the government-approved list. Common choices include Jae 才 “talent,” 在 “to exist,” 財 “wealth,” or 栽 “to cultivate,” paired with Yul 律 “law, rhythm, cadence” or 栗 “chestnut.” Examples often interpreted by parents include “talent and harmony” (才+律) or “steadfast rhythm of life” (在+律). Because multiple hanja are possible, the name’s nuance is customizable.

As a compound with classic Jae and the trend-forward Yul, Jae-yul has seen increased use in South Korea in the 2000s–present. It is unisex but leans masculine in practice. Romanization varies: Jae-yul, Jaeyul, and occasionally Jae Yul; hyphens are often dropped in the diaspora. A related but distinct name is Jae-yeol (재열), reflecting a different vowel and set of hanja.
