Meaning & History
From the Korean word 공주 (Gong-Ju), which comes from Sino-Korean 公主. The character 公 (Gong (공)) primarily means "Honorable" and "Just" but also means "Public," and the character 主 (Ju (주)) means "Master" or "Host." The name means "Princess," but can also be interpreted in a more literal sense as "Honorable Master" or "Public Host." This name can also be spelled with the Hanja 空 meaning "Empty," "Sky," or "Zero," or 恭 meaning "Respectful" and "Polite" for Gong (공), and 朱 meaning "Vermillion" or "Cinnabar," 珠 meaning "Pearl" or "Gem," or 姝 meaning "Beautiful woman," for for Ju (주).
