Lee Jong is Korean in Origin.
Lee Jong is a Korean compound name combining the family name Lee (이/李) with the given-name syllable Jong (종). Lee corresponds to the hanja 李, “plum,” while Jong can be written with various hanja such as 鐘 “bell,” 宗 “ancestral,” 鍾 “to cherish,” 種 “seed/kind,” or 終 “end,” so the full meaning depends on the characters chosen. The element Jong is most often masculine.
Lee is among Korea’s most prevalent surnames and is linked to the Yi royal house of Joseon. Jong as a name element was popular through the mid–late 20th century and remains familiar via figures like actor Lee Jong‑suk and musician Lee Jong‑hyun. Variant romanizations include Yi, Rhee, or I for the surname; Ri in North Korea; and Chong for Jong in McCune–Reischauer. Spelling and spacing vary in Western contexts, appearing as Lee Jong, Lee‑Jong, or (less commonly) Leejong.
