Ji-min

Two clean syllables connected by a soft hyphen: jee-min. Ji-min is among the most popular Korean given names of recent decades, used for both girls and boys depending on the hanja chosen. The ji element often carries meanings of wisdom or intellect, while min suggests quickness, gentleness, or the people, and the pairing reads as thoughtful and engaged. It has reached global recognition through K-pop, most notably a certain member of BTS, which lifted the name into wider international awareness. The sound is compact, confident, and modern. Ji-min arrives unfussy and self-assured, a contemporary classic in the making.
