Jeon is Korean in Origin.
Jeon (전) is a Korean name most familiar as a surname. It romanizes the Sino-Korean syllable jeon; common hanja for the surname include 全 “whole, complete” and 田 “field,” with rarer lineages using 錢 “coin” or 典 “canon.” Standard spellings vary by system: Jeon in Revised Romanization, Chŏn (or Chon) in McCune–Reischauer, and some families adopt Jun in English contexts.
In Korea it has centuries of attested use in clan genealogies, and its profile abroad has risen through the Korean Wave. As a given name, Jeon is uncommon but viable in modern, unisex, surname-as-first-name style. If used in Korean, the meaning depends on the chosen hanja; popular options include 全 (wholeness, integrity), 典 (law, canon; upright), 展 (to unfold, develop), or 前 (before; forward-looking). It also appears as a syllable within two-syllable given names.
