Jin-ho is Korean in Origin.
Jin-ho (진호) is a Korean masculine given name formed from two Sino-Korean elements whose meaning depends on the chosen hanja. Common graphs for Jin (진) include 眞 “true,” 珍 “precious/rare,” 進 “to advance,” and 鎭/鎮 “to calm.” For Ho (호), frequent choices are 虎 “tiger,” 浩 “great/vast,” 湖 “lake,” and 皓 “bright.” Parents select a pairing to convey virtues such as truthful strength, precious greatness, or advancing brightness.
Used in both North and South Korea, the name has been well represented among men born from the late twentieth century and remains familiar in the diaspora. Variants in Romanization include Jin-ho, Jinho, and Jin Ho under Revised Romanization, with Chin-ho in McCune–Reischauer. Related element-sharing names include Min-ho and Jin-woo. The name’s adaptable hanja make Jin-ho a classic yet personal choice with auspicious connotations.
Jin-ho is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 7 times, across 4 countries.
