Jun-young (Korean 준영) is a Sino-Korean given name built from Jun (준) and Young/Yeong (영), each selectable from many government-approved hanja, so its sense varies by characters. Popular choices include 俊永 (“able, talented” + “eternal”), 俊英 (“able” + “heroic; blossom”), 竣榮 (“completion” + “glory”), and 俊瑛 (“able” + “jade-brightness”). The name’s overall feel often blends virtues like talent, steadfastness, and lasting honor.

Used across South Korea since the mid-20th century, Jun-young became particularly common from the 1980s onward and remains familiar among athletes and entertainers as well as in the Korean diaspora. It is predominantly masculine but can be unisex. Romanization and spacing vary: Jun-young, Junyoung, Jun-yeong (Revised Romanization), and Joon-young/Joon Young are all seen; the McCune–Reischauer form is Chun-yŏng. Parents select specific hanja to tailor meaning and auspice, so individuals named Jun-young may carry distinct symbolic combinations despite sharing the same pronunciation.
