Origin and meaning of Ju-won
Ju-won (주원) combines 主 (ju), 'principal, master', or 周 (ju), 'complete, universal', with 元 (won), 'origin, foundation', giving a meaning close to 'primary source' or 'principal guide'; the final sense varies with the hanja chosen. It is borne by actor Ju Won, known for several Korean television dramas, who helped popularize it as a given name. Parents like its firm sound and air of quiet authority.
