Yu-jin
Yu-jin, also spelled Yoo-jin, is a Korean given name. The name is popular as not only is it a traditional Korean name but it can be romanized as Eugene, allowing children to have not only a name that is Korean in origin but easy for Westerners to pronounce. In the early 2000s, Yu-jin was among the most popular names for baby boys, but later in the decade, it saw a fall in popularity, and by 2008 Yu-jin had fallen out of the top ten.
