Jeong-ja, also spelled Jung-ja or Chung-ja, is a Korean feminine given name. The meaning differs based on the hanja used to write each syllable of the name. There are 65 hanja with the reading "jeong" and 28 hanja with the reading "ja" on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be used in given names. Typically, "ja" is written with the hanja meaning "child" (). The same characters correspond to a number of Japanese given names, among them various names which use ''kun'yomi'' readings of the first character, including Sadako, and another less common one Teiko which uses the ''on'yomi'' reading of the first character. Jeong-ja is one of a number of Japanese-style names ending in "ja", along with Young-ja and Soon-ja, that were popular when Korea was under Japanese rule, but declined in popularity afterwards. According to South Korean government data, it was the sixth-most popular name for baby girls in 1940.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=한국인이 가장 줗아하는 이름은 무엇일까? )〕 By 1950 there were no names ending in "ja" in the top ten.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=한국인이 가장 줗아하는 이름은 무엇일까? )〕 People with this name include: *Park Jung-ja (born 1942), actress *Bae Jeong-ja (1870–1950), adopted daughter of Ito Hirobumi, portrayed in the film ''Femme Fatale:Bae Jeong-ja'' *Bak Jeong-ja (박정자, 1927–2003), South Korean politician *Lee Jung-Ja (born 1951), South Korean former volleyball player *Sin Jung-Ja (born 1980), South Korean basketball player ==See also== *List of Korean given names 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeong-ja」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
