Yunjin is Chinese, Korean in Origin.
Yunjin represents the Korean given name 윤진, written in Hangul as two syllables, Yun and Jin. Korean names of this type usually select hanja, Chinese characters read with Sino-Korean pronunciations, so the literal sense is not fixed by the romanization alone. For Yun, possible characters include 允, fair or sincere, and 潤, moisten or enrich; Jin may be 眞, true, 珍, precious, or 鎭, settle. The supplied gloss cloud reflects Mandarin yún 雲 rather than standard Sino-Korean un.
As a modern Korean feminine name, Yunjin is normally romanized from 윤진, with spacing or hyphenation varying by personal and passport preference. Forms such as Yun-jin, Yun Jin, and Yoon-jin are spelling variants rather than separate names. It is known internationally through South Korean actress Kim Yun-jin and Korean American singer Huh Yun-jin. Outside Korean communities it remains uncommon, and its meaning is best interpreted from the bearer’s chosen hanja.
