Jebi is Korean in Origin.
Jebi is a Korean given name from the native Korean word 제비, meaning “swallow,” the swift spring-returning bird celebrated in folklore as a bringer of luck and good news. As a pure Korean (non-Sino-Korean) choice, it has no hanja form; its appeal rests on imagery - grace, loyalty to home, and renewal - echoed in the tale of Heungbu and the Swallow and in traditional songs. Usage as an official given name has been uncommon, but it appears as nicknames and literary names and has gained quiet traction with modern nature-inspired, gender-neutral naming.
Spellings and variants include Je-bi (hyphenated style), Jebi under Revised Romanization, and Chebi in McCune–Reischauer. Some write Jae-bi, though that misrepresents the vowel. Because “jebi” is an obscene verb form in several South Slavic languages, families planning international use may wish to consider context or alternate spellings.
