Origin and meaning of Woo-jin
Woo-jin (우진) joins 宇 (woo), 'universe, cosmic space', with 鎭 (jin), 'to calm, to govern firmly', or with 珍 (jin), 'precious, rare', for a meaning ranging from 'guardian of the universe' to 'precious universe'; the reading shifts with the hanja chosen. It's a classic, widely used boys' name in South Korea across several generations, valued for its strong sound and the range of positive meanings it can carry.
