Woo-jin is Korean in Origin.
Woo-jin is a Korean given name (Hangul: 우진) formed from Sino-Korean syllables whose meanings vary with the hanja chosen. Common options include Woo 宇 “house; cosmos,” 祐 “divine help,” 友 “friend,” or 禹 “Yu, a legendary ruler,” paired with Jin 眞/真 “truth,” 珍 “precious,” 進 “advance,” or 鎭 “to steady; tranquil.” Typical readings yield appealing senses such as “true friend,” “precious help,” or “cosmic truth.” Pronounced roughly “oo-jeen,” it carries a clean, modern sound.
Used for all genders but strongly favored for boys, Woo-jin rose sharply from the 1990s and has ranked among South Korea’s most popular male names through the 2000s–2010s, borne by athletes and entertainers and common in the diaspora. Romanization varies: Woo-jin is widespread in practice, while Revised Romanization gives U-jin; Woojin and Ujin also appear. Related choices swap the second syllable, as in Woo-hyun or Woo-seok, while Jin-based peers include Seok-jin and Min-jin.
