Jong-woo is a gender-neutral name that arises from Korean roots. When different hanja characters are combined, this title takes on different meanings. Jong is likely a respelling of Jeong, a moniker that translates to “quiet,” “still,” “virtuous,” and “chaste.” Jong-woo’s second syllable comes from the Korean element woo, which can be written with multiple characters. From “whole” and “big” to “help” and “agate,” woo’s definitions could remind your little one of the enormous impact that small acts of kindness and helpfulness can make.
