Origin and meaning of Ji-yu
Ji-yu (지유) pairs 智 (ji), 'wisdom', with 柔 (yu), 'soft, gentle', giving the meaning 'wise and sweet'; the variant with 裕 (yu), 'abundance, ease', is also common, shifting the sense toward 'wisdom and prosperity'. As with almost all two-syllable Korean names, the precise meaning depends on the hanja parents choose. It has been a very fashionable girls' name in South Korea in recent years, chosen for its light sound and image of inner grace.
