Sung-ho, also spelled Seong-ho, is a Korean masculine given name. The meaning differs based on the hanja used to write each syllable of the name. There are 27 hanja with the reading "sung" and 49 hanja with the reading "ho" on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be used in given names.[1] It was the sixth-most popular name for baby boys in South Korea in 1950, rising to first place in 1960, but was displaced from the top spot in 1970 by Ji-hoon.[2]
