Instead of listing Jae as a rare spelling of an English name, why not note that it's a Korean name? It can be used alone as a single-syllable name, though it is more common as either the first or last syllable of a two-syllable name. The meaning depends on which hanja is used to write it, but the most common ones are "talent", "wealth", "cultivate", and "again".There is a famous South Korean footballer with the single-syllable name, Hur Jae (family name comes first; given name last). Another notable bearer of this name was Gil Jae, a neo-COnfucian scholar from the Goryeo and early Joseon Dynasty. [noted -ed]
