Soo-jin is Korean in Origin.
Soo-jin is a Korean given name written in Hangul as 수진. It is a Sino-Korean two-syllable name; meanings vary with the hanja chosen. Common combinations include 秀珍 “outstanding, precious,” 秀眞 “excellent, true,” 守眞 “to protect truth,” and 鎭 “steadfast, to calm” for jin paired with hanja for su like 秀 or 洙. The name is unisex but today leans feminine in South Korea.
The name saw wide popularity among girls in South Korea from the late 1970s through the 1990s and remains familiar across generations, helped by bearers in the arts, sports, and academia. Romanization varies: Su-jin is standard in Revised Romanization; Soojin and Soo-jin reflect English spelling conventions; older sources may show Suchin under McCune–Reischauer. An unhyphenated form, Sujin, is common in passports. Because hanja selection personalizes meaning, parents often highlight ideals such as excellence, truth, preciousness, advancement, or steadiness.
