Eun, also spelled Un, or En, Ehn, Enn, Unn, is an uncommon Korean surname, a single-syllable Korean given name, and an element in many two-syllable Korean given names.[1] As given name meaning differs based on the hanja used to write it. There are 30 hanja with the reading "eun"[2] on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be registered for use in given names. The overwhelmingly popular hanja for given name is "恩(grace)" and "銀(silver)".
