Joonho is Korean in Origin.

Joonho is a Korean masculine given name written 준호 in Hangul and composed of Sino-Korean elements whose meanings vary with the chosen Hanja. Common jun (준) characters include 俊 "talented, handsome," 準 "standard," and 竣 "to complete," while ho (호) often appears as 浩 "vast, great," 昊 "expansive sky," 皓 "bright," or 豪 "magnificent." Combinations such as 俊浩 or 俊昊 yield senses like "talented and great" or "handsome under the broad sky."

The name has been widely used in South Korea since the late 20th century and remains familiar today, helped by notable bearers such as filmmaker Bong Joon-ho and singer-actor Lee Jun-ho. Romanization varies: Jun-ho is the Revised Romanization, Joon-ho and Junho are common spellings in passports and media, and McCune–Reischauer renders it Chunho. Variants/spacings include Jun Ho, Joon Ho, or the hyphenated Jun-ho.
