As a given name, its meaning depends on the hanja selected: 이 may be 怡 “joy,” 以 “by means of,” 利 “benefit,” or 伊 “that,” while 정 can be 正 “upright,” 貞 “steadfast,” 政 “governance,” 靜/靖 “calm,” or 晶 “bright.” Typical combinations suggest senses such as “upright by principle,” “joyful calm,” or “bright and steadfast.” The name is unisex and found in both traditional and modern usage.
