Joon

Joon is a given name used in Korean culture. It is often a romanization of the Hangul syllable 준 and can be part of many two-syllable given names formed with different second elements. The meaning of Joon in Korean depends on the hanja characters chosen for the name, and it may carry a variety of positive connotations such as intelligence, talent, or other attributes. Because of different transliteration practices, Joon may also be written as Jun or Joons in some contexts, and it appears among Korean diaspora communities worldwide.

In addition to its use as a personal name, Joon is known in the airline industry as a former brand of Air France-KLM. Launched in 2017, Joon was introduced as a modern, youth-focused sub-brand intended to complement Air France by offering long-haul services with a contemporary image. The venture operated for several years, but in 2019 Air France-KLM announced the retirement of the Joon brand, with routes and operations subsequently folded back into Air France.

The term Joon may also appear in fiction, entertainment, and other contexts as a personal or character name. Because of its multiple uses, references to Joon are often clarified by context or accompanied by a disambiguation to distinguish among people, brands, and cultural uses.
