Sungjae is Korean in Origin.
Sungjae (성재) is a Korean masculine given name formed from Sino-Korean elements; its meaning varies with the hanja chosen. Common options for Sung/Seong (성) include 成 "to accomplish," 聖 "sacred," and 星 "star," while Jae (재) often uses 才 "talent," 在 "to be/presence," or 宰 "to govern." Thus, combinations yield senses such as "accomplished talent," "sacred presence," or "star-like talent." Written solely in Hangul, it carries no fixed meaning.
A common two-syllable name in Korea, Sungjae gained visibility in the late 20th–21st century via entertainers and athletes. Notable bearers include singer-actor Yook Sungjae and golfer Im Sung-jae. Though technically unisex, usage skews strongly masculine. Spelling varies by romanization: Revised Romanization Seong-jae; McCune–Reischauer Sŏng-chae; and prevalent modern forms Sungjae, Sung-jae, or Seongjae.
