Around the world, 进 (进 , 진 , Jìn) is a widespread dominantly boy's, but uncommonly feminine given name. The forename 进 is habitual in Eastern Asia, particularly China, where it is quite a common mostly male, but infrequently feminine name, and South Korea, where it is quite a rare gender-neutral name. Much less frequently, 进 is the last name as well as the forename.
进 is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Shi Jin , the Water Margin character; Chai Jin , the Water Margin character; Xie Zhen , the Water Margin character and Wang Jin , the character in Water Margin.
