Lee Ji is Korean in Origin.

Lee Ji is a Korean unisex given name commonly written in Hangul as 이지 (I-ji). It combines two Sino-Korean syllables whose meanings vary with the hanja selected. Common choices for I (이) include 怡 “harmony/joy,” 伊 “graceful,” 以 “by means of,” and 利 “benefit”; for Ji (지), popular hanja are 智 “wisdom,” 志 “will,” 芝 “fragrant herb,” and 祉 “blessing.” Thus the name can convey ideas such as “harmonious wisdom,” “beneficial ambition,” or “joyful blessing.”

Used since mid-20th-century Korea, Lee Ji rose with the late-1980s to 2000s preference for soft, two-syllable names, especially for girls, yet remains broadly unisex. Variants and spellings include Lee-ji, Leeji, I-ji, and Yi-ji; it is sometimes confused with the surname Lee plus the given name Ji in Western order. Related forms in Chinese romanization appear as Li Ji. Hangul: 이지; hanja vary by registration.
