What 진 means
A Korean syllable, not a fixed word. Hangul combines ㅈ, ㅣ and ㄴ in one block.
Hangul was designed to make writing accessible to people unfamiliar with Chinese characters. Its announcement dates to 1443; the 1446 Hunminjeongeum text explained its purpose. These dates concern Hangul, not the first appearance of 진.
What does 진 mean in a Korean name?
진 alone does not tell you a name's meaning. As of 2025, South Korea's personal-name list includes Hanja for 진: 眞, 進, 珍 and 陳. Hanja are Chinese characters used in Korean; 眞 can mean “truth” and 進 “advance.”
