Ji-eun is Korean in Origin.
Ji-eun (지은) is a Korean given name, typically feminine. It combines the syllables ji and eun, each written with various hanja, so its meaning varies. Common choices include 智恩 (“wisdom” + “grace”), 知恩 (“to know” + “kindness, gratitude”), and 志恩 (“will, aspiration” + “grace”); other options render eun as 銀 (“silver”) or 誾 (“gentle/mild”). Pronounced roughly “jee-uhn” [dʑi.ɯn], the standard romanization is Ji‑eun.
The name rose to prominence in South Korea in the late 20th century and remains familiar, aided by cultural figures such as singer IU (Lee Ji‑eun) and screenwriter Park Ji‑eun. Variants and spellings include Jieun, Ji Eun, Jee‑eun, and the McCune–Reischauer form Chi‑ŭn; related reversals like Eun‑ji share the same elements. As with many modern Korean names, parents choose hanja to tailor virtues or imagery, making Ji‑eun versatile and enduring.
