Eun-ji is Korean in Origin.
Eun-ji (은지) is a Korean given name composed of the Sino-Korean elements eun and ji. Depending on the hanja chosen, Eun may mean “grace/kindness” (恩), “silver” (銀), or “abundance” (殷), while Ji commonly signifies “wisdom/intellect” (智), “will/ambition” (志), or “fragrant herb” (芝). The popular pairing 恩智 conveys “grace and wisdom.” Spellings include Eun-ji, Eunji, and Eun Ji; in McCune–Reischauer it appears as Ŭnji. Though technically unisex, it is predominantly used for girls today.
Two-syllable Sino-Korean names became standard during the late Goryeo and Joseon eras, and Eun-ji grew especially popular in South Korea from the 1980s through the 1990s, remaining familiar in contemporary use. Variants include the inversion Ji-eun (지은) and other element swaps such as Eun-kyung or Ji-yeon. As meanings hinge on hanja selection, parents often choose pairs emphasizing virtues like kindness, wisdom, and resolve.
