What is the meaning of the name Jisoo ?

Jisoo is Korean in Origin.

Jisoo is a Korean given name written in hangul as 지수, normally analyzed as two Sino-Korean morphemes, ji and su, whose written source is Classical Chinese hanja. No single inherited form fixes its semantics: the earliest recoverable form is the Korean reading 지수 attached to chosen characters. Common ji hanja include 智, wisdom, 志, will or aspiration, and 芝, zhi plant; su may be 秀, excellence, 水, water, or 洙, a river name. 智秀 therefore reads literally as wisdom and excellence.

The name belongs to the hanja-based naming system used in Korea after Chinese writing entered elite record-keeping; hangul later supplied the standard phonetic spelling. It is mostly feminine in contemporary South Korea, though Korean given names can cross gender. Romanizations include Jisu, Ji-su, and Jee-soo. International recognition has been reinforced by Kim Ji-soo of Blackpink, while domestic usage fits a recent preference for compact two-syllable virtue names.
