Chun-ja is a Korean feminine given name.
The name Chun-ja is generally written with hanja meaning "spring child" (; ;), though there are three other characters with the reading "chun" on the South Korean government's list of hanja which may be registered for use in given names.[1] Those same characters may also be read as the Japanese feminine given name Haruko.[2]
Chun-ja is one of a number of Japanese-style names ending in "ja", like Young-ja and Jeong-ja, that were popular when Korea was under Japanese rule, but declined in popularity afterwards. According to South Korean government data, Chun-ja was the fourth-most popular name for newborn girls in 1945, with nine out of the top ten names for girls that year ending in "ja".[3] However, by 1950 there were no names ending in "ja" in the top ten.[4]
