Chaeyeon is Korean in Origin.
Chaeyeon (채연) is a Korean given name built from Sino-Korean elements; its meaning depends on the hanja chosen. Common readings include Chae 彩/采 (“bright color; to gather”) and Yeon 姸/娟 (“graceful, beautiful”), 延 (“to extend”), or 蓮 (“lotus”), yielding interpretations such as “brilliant grace,” “gathered beauty,” or “colorful lotus.” While technically unisex, it is used chiefly for girls in contemporary South Korea.
Usage grew markedly from the late 1980s through the 2010s, aided by media visibility. Notable bearers include singer Chae Yeon (stage name of Lee Jin-sook), Lee Chaeyeon (IZ*ONE, soloist), and actor-idol Jung Chaeyeon (DIA/I.O.I). Spelling variants reflect romanization: Chaeyeon (standard), Chae-yeon, and Chae Yeon; McCune-Reischauer renders it Ch’ae-yŏn. Informal nicknames include Chae, Yeon, and Yeon-i. Because hanja selection drives meaning, parents often choose characters that express elegance, creative talent, or serene beauty.
