Jung-eun
Jung-eun, also spelled Jeong-eun, or Jeong-un, Jong-un, is a Korean unisex given name. In South Korea, it is overwhelmingly used as a female name. Its meaning differs based on the hanja used to write each syllable of the name. There are 84 hanja with the reading "jung"[1] and 30 hanja with the reading "eun"[2] on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be used in given names. In North Korea, soon after Kim Jong-un came to power, the North Korean government promulgated a new decree forbidding other uses of his name, and people with that name were forced to change it to conform to the new rule.[3]
