Seong-ja

Seong-ja, also spelled Sung-ja, is a Korean given name. Typically, "ja" is written with the hanja meaning "child" (子). Names ending with this hanja, such as Young-ja and Jeong-ja, were popular when Korea was under Japanese rule, but declined in popularity afterward.^[1] The hanja used to write the name Seong-ja also correspond to a number of different Japanese given names; for example, both 成子 and 聖子 can be read as the name Seiko.^[2]
