Lee Jinyoung is Korean in Origin.
Lee Jinyoung (이진영) pairs the Korean surname Lee with the unisex given name Jinyoung. Lee, commonly spelled Lee in English though formally romanized Yi, derives from the Sino-Korean character 李 meaning “plum.” As one of Korea’s most prevalent surnames, it belongs to major clans such as Jeonju Yi, the royal house of Joseon, and appears in diaspora spellings like Rhee or Ri.
Jinyoung (진영) is a versatile given name whose meaning depends on the chosen hanja. Typical elements include Jin (眞 “true,” 珍 “precious,” 振 “to advance”) and Young/Yeong (榮 “glory,” 英 “hero/flower,” 永 “eternal,” 影 “shadow”), yielding readings like “true glory,” “precious hero,” or “advancing eternity.” It is romanized variously as Jin-young or Jin-yeong and has been popular for all genders since the late 20th century, appearing widely among artists, athletes, and scholars. Western order may appear as Jinyoung Lee.
