sujung

Sujung is a romanization of the Korean word 수 정, written in Hangul as 수정. It can function as both a common noun in Korean and as a personal given name. As a noun, 수정 denotes editing, revision, modification, or correction, and is used in everyday language, publishing, and computing. As a noun in jewelry or gem terminology, 수 정 can also refer to a crystal, notably 水晶 (water crystal or quartz crystal) in Korean.

As a given name, Sujung is typically a feminine name in Korea, though it can be used for any gender depending on the chosen hanja. Korean given names are often formed by pairing two syllables with various meanings. For 수정, the same pronunciation can be rendered by different hanja characters, changing the meaning. Common hanja combinations include 修正, meaning “to repair” or “to amend,” and 水晶, meaning “water crystal” or “quartz.” Because hanja are chosen by families, the personal meaning of Sujung as a name varies widely without a single fixed interpretation.

In modern usage, the term 수 정 remains active in everyday language as the act of editing or correcting something. In contexts such as publishing, software, or communications, 수정을 하다 or 수정 is routinely used to indicate making changes.

Overall, Sujung functions as a versatile term in Korean, with meanings tied to editing and correction on one hand, and to crystal or name meanings on the other, depending on its hanja representation. It is most commonly encountered as a female given name in contemporary Korean society.
