History & Origin

Yijun is a Mandarin given name shown in pinyin, the standard romanization. In Chinese naming, parents choose characters for their sense as much as their sound: the syllable jun may be written with a character meaning 'handsome; talented' or with one meaning 'ruler', and yi has many possibilities too. The romanized form alone cannot tell us which, so the meaning is uncertain, which we note (said 'ee-JOON').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare here, common in China.

Did you know? Chinese names carry their meaning in the written characters, so two boys named Yijun may have quite different meanings — a common element jun is often read 'handsome' or 'talented'.
