Ji-hye is Chinese, Korean in Origin.
Ji-hye is a Korean feminine given name built from Sino-Korean elements rather than a native Korean word. The earliest recoverable written form for its usual etymology is the Hanja compound 智慧, read 지혜 in Korean; 智 denotes wisdom or knowledge, and 慧 denotes bright, sagacious intelligence. As a two-syllable Korean given name, it may also be registered with other approved Hanja, such as 智惠, where 惠 adds the sense of favor or benevolence.
The name fits the modern Korean pattern of a monosyllabic family name followed by a two-syllable given name. In South Korea it was especially common for girls born in the late twentieth century, ranking first for newborn girls in 1980, 1988, and 1990. Revised Romanization gives Jihye, though Ji-hye is common in passports and English-language contexts; Jee-hye and Chi-hye reflect older or personal spellings. It also appears in Korean diaspora communities.
Ji-hye is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 2 times, across 2 countries.
