Chae-yeon is Chinese, Korean in Origin.

Chae-yeon is a Korean feminine given name written in Hangul as 채연, its standard native form; when hanja are assigned, the roots are Sino-Korean readings of Chinese characters. Chae may represent 彩 color or brilliance, or 采 to gather, while yeon may be 姸 or 娟 graceful, 延 to extend, or 蓮 lotus. Since Korean given names are usually built from two one-syllable morphemes, the literal sense is fixed only by the selected hanja, not by the sound alone.

In South Korea the name is chiefly feminine and belongs to modern two-syllable naming practice, not an inherited religious tradition. Revised Romanization gives Chae-yeon, often closed as Chaeyeon or spaced as Chae Yeon; McCune-Reischauer writes Ch’aeyŏn, with Chae-yun and Chae-yon as looser spellings. Public bearers such as singer Chae Yeon, Jung Chae-yeon, Lee Chae-yeon, and figure skater Kim Chae-yeon made it visible from the late twentieth century onward.
