Ji-won, also spelled Jee-won or Chi-won, is a Korean unisex given name. Its meaning differs based on the hanja used to write each syllable of the name. There are 46 hanja with the reading "ji" and 35 hanja with the reading "won" on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be registered for use in given names. Though it has never been one of the top 10 names for newborn boys or girls in South Korea, in the 2000s it began to become more common, as part of a rising trend of giving unisex names to babies.
