Yoo-jung is Korean in Origin.

Yoo-jung (유정) is a Korean given name, unisex but most common for women. It is composed of the syllables yu and jeong, each of which can be written with many government-approved hanja, so the meaning varies by choice. The name has been used from the Joseon period into the present; a noted early bearer is the Buddhist monk Yujeong (惟政; 1544–1610), while modern examples include actress Kim Yoo-jung and singer Choi Yoojung.

Meanings span a gentle to virtuous spectrum: 柔靜 (“gentle, serene”), 裕貞 (“abundant and upright/virtuous”), or 有情 (“affectionate, warmhearted”). Other pairings can express ideals like purity, calm, or righteousness. Romanization varies: the Revised Romanization form is Yu-jeong or Yujeong; Yoo-jung and Yoo-jeong reflect family or stylistic preferences, while Yu-jung and You-jung also appear in the diaspora. Related spellings with ㅓ rendered as ‘eo’ yield Jeong, but Jung is widely used informally.
