Minwoo is of Korean origin, derived from the Sino-Korean characters 'min' (敏) meaning 'sharp', 'clever', and 'intelligent', and 'woo' (雨) meaning 'rain'. This name is often given to express the parents' wish for their child to be as perceptive and bright as a sudden rain shower that clears the air.
"Minwoo saw a notable increase in its popularity between 2012 and 2013, with five births each year. However, the name's overall usage remained relatively low throughout the decade, totaling just seventeen births from 2002 to 2013."
