Seok-jin

At a Glance: Name: Seok – Origin: Korean (given name, meaning depends on hanja chosen) – Gender: Boy – Pronunciation: suk-JIN

---

Seok is a Korean given name built from hanja, so its exact meaning shifts depending on which characters are chosen rather than being locked to one definition. You may see it explained as meaning something like 'auspicious and precious' — that's just one possible hanja reading, not the name's single true meaning. Seok also sits comfortably alongside international names while keeping a clean, pared-down feel, which makes it a solid pick if you want a boy's name that travels well and stays simple.
