Eun-hee is Korean in Origin.
Eun-hee (은희) is a Korean given name, typically feminine, built from the Sino-Korean elements eun and hui/hee. Depending on the chosen hanja, it can mean “grace/kindness” (恩), “silver” (銀), or “abundant” (殷) for Eun, paired with Hee such as “brightness” (熙), “joy” (喜), or “hope” (希). Popular pairings include 恩熙 (“grace and brightness”), 恩喜 (“grace and joy”), and 銀熙 (“silver brightness”), giving the name an auspicious, warm tone.
The name saw broad use in South Korea from the 1960s through the 1980s and remains familiar across generations; it also appears in North Korea and the Korean diaspora. Notable bearers include screenwriter Kim Eun-hee and various actresses and athletes. Romanization varies: Eun-hee and Eunhee are common in English; Eun-hui/Eunhui reflects Revised Romanization of 희 (hui); older systems yield Ŭnhŭi. Hyphenation and spacing are stylistic variants.
Eun-hee doesn't appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. Whichever it is, scarcely anyone else carries it.
