Soojin is Korean in Origin.

Soojin (Hangul: 수진) is a Korean given name built from Sino-Korean elements su and jin, each written with various hanja. The meaning shifts with the chosen characters; common pairings include 秀珍 (“excellent, precious”), 守眞 (“to guard truth”), and 眞/真 with the sense of “truth; genuine,” while su may also mean “longevity, water, protect, beauty.” Because parents select from dozens of approved hanja for each syllable, individual bearers may claim nuanced readings such as “outstanding and rare,” “pure and steadfast,” or “well-guarded truth.”

Used by both genders but especially popular for girls in late 20th‑century South Korea, Soojin rose with modern two-syllable Sino-Korean naming trends and is now familiar across the Korean diaspora. Romanization varies: Revised Romanization favors Su‑jin, while everyday spellings include Soo‑jin, Soojin, Sujin, and Sue‑jin; short forms like Soo or Jin also appear.
