Yoonho

Meaning & origin

Yoonho is a boy's name of Korean origin, traditionally used in Buddhist families. The name means "Great integrity, vast sincerity — Yoonho (Korean 윤호, hanja 允浩) joins yoon 允 (sincerity, honesty, integrity) with ho 浩 (vast, great, expansive). The pairing casts a child as someone whose uprightness is not narrow but generous and far-reaching, a virtue-name long favoured in Korean families for sons." and belongs to the Wisdom cluster — names meaning knowledge, insight, and thoughtful presence.

Beyond its Buddhist heritage, Yoonho is also used in Christian traditions, reflecting how this name has traveled across cultures.
