Ji-Won is Korean in Origin.
Ji-Won (지원) is a Korean unisex given name formed from Sino-Korean elements whose meanings depend on the chosen hanja. Common Ji (지) characters include 智 “wisdom,” 志 “will, ambition,” and 知 “knowledge,” while Won (원) often appears as 源/原 “source, origin,” 願 “wish, aspiration,” 園/苑 “garden,” or 媛 “graceful woman” (more often in feminine use). Popular pairings include 智源 “wise source,” 志願 “aspiration,” and 智媛 “wise and elegant.”
The name appears in late Joseon records - famously the Enlightenment-era writer Park Ji-won - and remains widely used today, ranking highly for girls in South Korea in the 1980s–1990s yet staying genuinely gender-neutral. Contemporary bearers include actress Kim Ji-won and singer Eun Ji-won. Spelling and spacing vary in English: Ji-won, Ji Won, or Jiwon; older systems render it as Chi-wŏn. Hyphens are optional in modern usage.
