Joon-ho is Korean in Origin.

Joon-ho is a masculine Korean given name made of the syllables Jun/Joon (준) and Ho (호). Its meaning depends on the hanja selected: popular Jun graphs include 俊 “talented, handsome,” 駿 “excellent, swift,” 濬 “deep,” and 竣 “complete,” while common Ho graphs are 浩 “vast,” 豪 “magnificent,” 皓 “bright,” 昊 “expansive sky,” 虎 “tiger,” and 鎬 “bright metal.” Frequent pairings such as 俊浩, 俊豪, 濬昊, or 駿皓 yield readings like “talented and vast,” “excellent and bright,” or “deep, expansive sky.” All characters must come from South Korea’s approved hanja list for names.

The name has been widely used since the late 20th century and is strongly associated with figures like film director Bong Joon-ho, actor Jung Joon-ho, and singer-actor Lee Jun-ho. Romanization variants include Joon-ho, Jun-ho (Revised Romanization), and Junho (closed-up form), with McCune–Reischauer Chun-ho. Related Sino-Korean forms parallel Chinese Junhao (俊豪/浚浩).
