Jinae is a Korean feminine given name formed from the Sino-Korean elements jin (진) and ae (애). Depending on the hanja chosen, jin can mean “true” (眞) or “precious/rare” (珍), while ae typically means “love” (愛). Common combinations include 眞愛 (“true love”) and 珍愛 (“precious love”), giving the name an affectionate, elegant tone. The standard Revised Romanization is Jin-ae; hyphenless Jinae is frequent abroad, and the older McCune–Reischauer form appears as Chin-ae.

Use rose in South Korea during the later twentieth century, when two-syllable feminine names ending in -ae were fashionable, and it remains recognizable through diaspora communities and popular culture. Variants and related forms include Jin Ae, Jin-ae, Jinae, and the inverted Ae-jin; diminutives such as Jin or Jinnie also occur. Outside Korean contexts, Jinae is sometimes interpreted as a creative cousin of Janae/Jené, but its core meaning and heritage are distinctly Korean.
