Ji-eun, also spelled Jee-eun, Ji-un or Jee-un, is a Korean feminine given name. Its meaning differs based on the hanja used to write each syllable of the name. There are 61 hanja with the reading "ji"[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. It was the fourth most popular name for baby girls in South Korea in 1980, rising to second place in 1988, where it remained in 1990.[3][4]
