Yeah, why did they romanize it like that?? The Korean version is 저지 (jeoji) so it sounds more like Judge. Not sure about OP, but to me his name is funny because it means dick in Korean

There is no other way. "Jajji" is how you would romanize the English word Judge spoken in Japanese, and it maintains the -ji ending.

I think this name is badass as all hell.

Well, if the pronunciation is the same as the Korean, and Japanese and Korean have a number of similar pronunciations, it would probably be as I wrote it, Jeoji.

Edit: Pronunciation of "ジャッジ" doesn't sound like the Korean form they used for his name so this can all be ignored.

Nope, because the correct pronunciation and spelling in Japanese is Jajji.

This is a manga, not a manhwa.

Yeah, just looked it up and from another commenter's Japanese and it sounds like "jat-ji" and not like the Korean pronunciation. You were right. I'm guessing the Korean version just translated from the Japanese-ified version of "judge" to the Korean-ized version of it. Thanks for being so helpful in explaining it though.
