Joo-won

Joo-won is a gender-neutral name of Korean origin for the little one who is starting their first trip around the sun. In the Korean language, the hanja characters used to write a name determine its meaning, so Joo-won has several possibilities! Perhaps it’s a combination of the elements won, meaning “first” and ju, meaning “circumference” or “around,” leading to the translation “first around” or “first circumference.” The element won is also associated with the meaning “beautiful woman,” reminding baby that beauty is all around. If little Joo-won ever needs the courage to make their way out of the sidelines and onto the big screen, you can tell them about South Korean actor Joo Won, who shares their name.
