Jebong is Korean in Origin.

Jebong is a rare Korean given-name form and literary sobriquet (Hangul 제봉) built from Sino‑Korean elements je and bong. Meaning depends on the hanja: je may be 濟 “aid,” 霽 “clearing after rain,” 悌 “fraternal,” or 制 “govern,” while bong often is 峰 “peak,” 鳳 “phoenix,” or 奉 “offer.” Together they yield readings like “helpful peak,” “phoenix after the rain,” or “disciplined summit.”

In records, Jebong appears more as a ho (pen name) among Joseon literati than as an official given name; today it remains uncommon, usually masculine but effectively unisex. Variants: Je-bong, Je Bong; McCune–Reischauer: Chebong. Related forms include Jae-bong/Jaebong (재봉), distinct in sound and sometimes meaning (“sewing”). The name’s classical imagery and flexible hanja choices suit poetic or scholarly naming styles.
