Chung-ha

Chung-ha is a rare Korean name that will make your little one stand out in a crowd. With its melodic sound and distinctive two-syllable structure, Chung-ha is a beautiful choice for children of Korean heritage, since it reflects the traditional naming patterns holding the hopes and values parents wish to instill in their little ones. Chung is a variant transcription of the Korean Jeong and can mean "quiet," still," or "gentle" when using the Sino-Korean character 靜  or "virtuous," "chaste," or "loyal" with 貞. While Jeong or Chung are often combined with other characters, they pair beautifully with the element -ha. Individually, Chung appears as a Chinese name meaning "intelligent." According to social security records, Chung-ha is quite rare among Korean-American families, given to fewer than five children yearly as of 2023. Namesake Kim Chung-ha, also known as Chungha, made her start with Produce 101'_s girl group I.O.I in 2016. Since the group disbanded the following year, Chunga-ha has found success as a solo artist and composer, with her most notable work featuring soundtrack songs for beloved Kdrama series like _Hotel Del Luna and Strong Girl Bong-Soon.
