Jae

Jae is a Korean given name drawn from Sino-Korean roots, most commonly written with characters meaning talent, ability, or wealth, though the precise meaning depends on the hanja chosen by the family. It functions both as a standalone name and as a common element in two-syllable names such as Jaehyun, Jaemin, and Jaewon. The name is used for both males and females, though it appears more frequently in masculine names. Outside Korea, Jae is sometimes used as a short form of names beginning with the syllable, particularly among Korean diaspora communities.
