Wisdom, intellect, or ambition; greatness or lake
Jiho is a popular Korean masculine name. Its meaning depends on the hanja used to write each syllable; 'Ji' often refers to wisdom, intellect, or will, while 'Ho' can mean greatness, vastness, or a lake. It is a modern-sounding choice that balances traditional Korean roots with a brief, accessible sound for English speakers.
