Taekwon is a unique and distinctive given name of Korean origin. It consists of two elements, 'tae' meaning 'great' or 'to fly,' and 'geon' which signifies 'conquer.' Together, they signify 'to conquer with flying colors,' implying strength, courage, and success. This name is often associated with Taekwondo, the traditional Korean martial art, as it was coined by its founder, General Choi Hong Hi. However, its use as a given name predates the establishment of Taekwondo, having been popular among Koreans for centuries.
"The name Taekwon had a notable start with 10 births in 1996, but saw a dip to 7 the following year. It rebounded to 10 in 1999, then fluctuated between 6 and 10 over the next decade."
