Sunghoon is a Korean masculine given name, written in Hangul as 성훈 and formally romanized as Seonghun. It combines the Sino-Korean elements seong and hun; variant spellings include Seong-hoon, Sung-hoon, and Sung Hoon, reflecting differing romanization systems and personal or stylistic preference.

Its meaning depends on the hanja chosen. Common options for seong include 成 “accomplish,” 聖 “sacred,” 誠 “sincere,” and 星 “star,” while hun may be 訓 “instruction,” 勳 “merit,” or 薰 “fragrance.” Thus Sunghoon can signify ideas such as “accomplished merit,” “sincere instruction,” or “star-like virtue.” Two-syllable Sino-Korean names have long been standard, and Seonghun appears widely in 20th- and 21st-century use. In South Korea, parents select approved hanja from the government list to define the name’s nuance. Overall, Sunghoon conveys studious, upright qualities with a refined, modern-classic feel.
