Character Name
Ji-woo
Ji-woo Ji-woo (智宇, wisdom of the universe) names a character of intellectual spaciousness — someone whose thinking is not merely clever but genuinely expansive, capable of holding large ideas and moving comfortably in abstract domains. The rain-wisdom reading (智雨) adds a nurturing quality: wisdom that falls generously and gives growth to whatever it touches, rather than intelligence as a private possession. Ji-woo suits characters who are contemplative, somewhat other-worldly, and unusually difficult to fully know.
