Jun-u
- Standard romanization · Jun-u

“Standard” means the Revised Romanization of Korean — the system on road signs and in textbooks. Families pick their own passport spelling, which is why one name has several.
How to say Junu
joon-oo (roughly)
- 준jun
- 우u
Korean gives every syllable the same weight — no strong beat.
Sounds that trip up English speakers
- u is always “oo” as in “moon”, never “you”.
- The first j is softer than in English — halfway to ch. That's why 김 is spelled Kim.
What 준우 means
俊宇 · talent as wide as the sky
- 俊 준 — talented (jun)
- 宇 우 — house, universe (u)
Korean names are often written with Chinese characters (hanja) the family picks. This is one common pairing — another 준우 may use different ones.
Mostly given to boys.
