Eun-chae is Chinese, Korean in Origin.

Eun-chae is a Korean feminine given name written in Hangul as 은채, the earliest recoverable form of the name in modern records. Each syllable is a name element: eun corresponds to Korean 은, often assigned Sino-Korean hanja such as 恩, grace or favor, while chae corresponds to 채, here represented by 彩, color, brilliance, or variegated pattern. With 恩彩, the literal sense is grace and color, though Korean names can change meaning when different registered hanja are chosen.

The name belongs to the two-syllable Korean given-name pattern common in South Korea, where hanja selection is regulated by official lists for personal names. Eun-chae appears primarily as a female name in contemporary Korean use and is romanized Eun-chae under Revised Romanization, with Ŭnch'ae in McCune-Reischauer. Recognition outside Korea has been aided by television dramas and public figures, while spelling without the hyphen is increasingly seen in international contexts.
