Mija

Mi-ja is a Korean feminine given name. Its meaning differs based on the hanja used to write each syllable of the name. There are 33 hanja with the reading "mi" and 28 hanja with the reading "ja" on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be used in given names. Typically, "ja" is written with the hanja meaning "child" (子). Names ending with this hanja, such as Young-ja and Jeong-ja, were popular when Korea was under Japanese rule, but declined in popularity afterwards.

People with this name include:

  • Lee Mi-ja (born 1941), South Korean trot singer
  • Son Mi-ja (born 1944), stage name Yoon Jeong-hee, South Korean actress
  • Son Mi-ja (born 1961), stage name Geum Bo-ra, South Korean actress
  • Lee Mi-ja (basketball) (born 1963), South Korean basketball player
  • Kim Mi-ja (born 1967), South Korean sprint canoer
