Jeong-Hui is Korean in Origin.
Jeong-Hui (정희) is a Korean given name built from Sino-Korean elements jeong + hui. Each syllable has multiple hanja options, so meanings vary by choice. Common pairings include 貞喜 “chaste, steadfast + joy,” 正熙 “upright, correct + bright,” 靜姬 “calm + lady,” or 情喜 “affection + joy.” The second element 희 is often read/romanized “Hee,” though its hanja may be 喜 (joy), 熙 (radiant), 希 (rare/hope), or 僖 (glad). Overall, the name evokes virtues such as integrity, serenity, brightness, and happiness.
Longstanding in Korea and especially popular from the 1950s–1980s, Jeong-Hui is traditionally unisex but skews female in modern usage, with notable male bearers as well. Variants and spellings include Jeong-hee, Jung-hee, Chung-hee; unhyphenated forms Jeonghui/Junghee also occur. Romanization systems render it as Jeong-hui (RR) and Chŏng-hŭi (MR). The precise meaning depends on the hanja chosen from the official South Korean list.
