Seong-Jin is Korean in Origin.
Seong-Jin (성진) is a Korean given name formed from Sino-Korean elements seong (성) and jin (진), written with Hanja selected by the family; its meaning depends on the characters chosen. Common combinations include 成鎭 “to accomplish, to steady,” 星眞 “star, truth,” 聖珍 “sagely, precious,” and 成進 “achieve, advance,” among many others permitted on South Korea’s official Hanja list. This flexibility lets parents highlight values such as integrity, brilliance, calm, or progress.
Used predominantly for boys, Seong-Jin reflects the modern Korean preference for two-syllable Hanja names and has remained familiar in South Korea and the Korean diaspora since the mid-20th century. Standard romanization is Seong-jin (Revised Romanization), with Sŏng-jin (McCune–Reischauer) and the informal Sung-jin also seen; hyphenation or spacing may vary (Seong Jin, Seongjin). Related forms swap one element (e.g., Seong-ho, Min-jin), while seong and jin recur widely across Korean naming traditions.
