Woojin is Korean in Origin.
Woojin is an English spelling of Korean 우진, a two-syllable given name written first in hangul unless a family specifies hanja. The root language is Korean, with many forms built from Sino-Korean readings. 우 may correspond to hanja such as 宇, house, eaves, or universe, 祐, help or protect, or 雨, rain; 진 may represent 珍, precious, 眞/真, true, or 鎭, town, to pacify.
Such names became especially transparent in modern Korea after hangul-only public writing made pronunciation more visible while official name registries retained hanja choices. Woojin is chiefly masculine in South Korea and among Korean diaspora families. Romanization varies between Woojin, Woo-jin, Ujin, and U-jin; spacing or hyphenation reflects style rather than a different name. Recent international notice comes from entertainers including Kim Woojin and Park Woo-jin.
