Jinjoo

Meaning: (Variant transcription of Jinju; Means "Pearl" in Korean. A famous bearer is South Korean golfer Hong Jin-joo (1983-).)

Origin: (Korean)

Pronunciation: (jeen-joo, JHihNJHUW)

Gender: Female

I was listening to music by the band DNCE and saw the female in the groups name is Jinjoo and I really came to like its unique to English speakers look. I don’t think I’ve put many Korean names on my blog so this is definitely new territory for me. The meaning is lovely and the look of the name is beautiful. Although I keep wanting to pronounce Jin as you would Jen but it’s really jeen as you would say like blue jeans. However when said by one familiar in Korean it may sound a tad different then even I am seeing it pronounced.

I think it has a very other worldly like look and would be cool on another planet or maybe a space opera novel or even just another outer space setting. Although it could be used on earth if used by a character with Korean parents and still be really pretty and I would love to see it.
