Jinsung is Korean in Origin.
Jinsung (진성) is a Korean given name formed from two Sino-Korean syllables, jin and seong/sung; its meaning varies with the Hanja chosen. It is used chiefly for boys but can be unisex. Standard romanization renders it Jinseong; Jinsung, Jin-sung, and Jin-seong are common variants, while the older McCune-Reischauer form is Chinsŏng.
Across Korean history, the name also echoes the temple name of Queen Jinseong of Silla (r. 887-897), underscoring deep cultural roots, though that usage was posthumous. Popular Hanja pairings include 眞誠 "true sincerity," 進成 "advance and accomplish," 珍星 "precious star," and 眞星 "true star"; other graphs such as 聖 (holy) or 城 (fortress) may also be chosen for seong. Contemporary South Korean regulations approve many Hanja for each syllable, letting parents tailor nuanced meanings, and the name remains steadily familiar in modern use.
