Origin and meaning of Ji-hoon
Ji-hoon (지훈) pairs 智 (ji), 'wisdom', or alternatively 志 (ji), 'ambition', with 勳 (hoon), 'merit, glorious achievement': the overall sense ranges from 'wise and deserving' to 'ambition crowned with success' depending on the hanja chosen. It was for a long time one of the most registered boys' names in South Korea, especially among those born in the 1980s and '90s, and remains a solid classic valued for its strong sound and its meaning tied to personal success.
