Sejun

Sejun is a masculine given name of Korean origin. In Hangul, it is written 세준 and is primarily used in South Korea, though it also appears among Korean communities worldwide. The name’s meaning depends on the hanja characters chosen to write the syllables; there are multiple hanja readings for 세 (se) and 준 (jun), allowing a variety of possible interpretations.

Because hanja combinations determine meaning, common interpretations vary. For example, using hanja that give 世 (world) for the first syllable and 俊 (talented, handsome) for the second can yield a meaning like “world-talented.” Other valid hanja pairings might emphasize qualities such as excellence, generation, or dawn, among many possibilities. In practice, the intended meaning is often selected by the parents when the name is given.

In modern usage, Sejun is routinely used for boys and is typically romanized as Sejun under the Revised Romanization system. Alternative spellings, such as Se-joon, Sejoon, or Sejun, may be chosen for personal or family reasons, leading to slight variations in pronunciation and written form outside Korea. Overall, Sejun is a common Korean given name with meanings that depend on the hanja chosen to represent it.
