Shiyoon

Shiyoon is a masculine given name of Korean origin. In Hangul, it is typically written as 시윤. Because Korean given names are usually formed from two Sino-Korean morphemes, the meaning of Shiyoon varies according to the hanja chosen for the syllables 시 (si) and 윤 (yun). There are many possible hanja combinations allowed for given names, which can yield meanings related to attributes such as wisdom, brightness, benevolence, or endurance. As a result, Shiyoon does not have a single fixed meaning.

In terms of usage, Shiyoon is used among Korean communities both in Korea and abroad. The name can be romanized in several ways; Shiyoon is one transliteration, while others include Si-yoon or Shi-yoon, depending on the romanization system and personal preference.

The name reflects common patterns in Korean naming practices, where two-syllable given names are prevalent and the choice of hanja conveys the bearer’s desired qualities. The specific interpretation of Shiyoon is determined by the hanja selected by the family or individual.
