Joon-Hee is Korean in Origin.

Joon-Hee is a Korean unisex given name composed of the Sino-Korean syllables Jun/Joon (준) and Hee (희). Meanings vary with the hanja chosen. Frequent jun characters include 俊 “talented, handsome,” 濬 “deep,” 峻 “lofty,” and 準 “standard,” while hee often draws on 熙 “bright, splendid,” 喜 “joy,” 希 “rare, hope,” or 禧 “felicity.” Common combinations yield senses such as “talented joy,” “lofty brightness,” or “deep felicity.”

Spellings reflect differing romanizations and preferences: Jun-hee (RR), Joon-Hee (phonetic), Jun-hui (formal RR for 희), and Joonhee/Junhee (no hyphen). The hyphen is customary in South Korea but frequently omitted abroad. As a naming pattern, -hee was popular for girls in the mid to late 20th century, while Jun-/Joon- rose for boys from the 1980s onward; Joon-Hee has therefore seen steady cross-gender use, skewing slightly masculine in recent decades.
