Eun-jin is Korean in Origin.

Eun-jin (은진) is a Korean given name built from the Sino-Korean elements eun and jin, each represented by various hanja on the South Korean government’s approved list. Meanings differ by the chosen characters: common pairings include 恩眞 “grace + truth,” 銀珍 “silver + precious,” or 誾鎭 “gentle + steadfast.” While technically unisex, the name has been predominantly feminine in contemporary South Korea, with some masculine use historically - especially when 진 is written 鎭/鎮 (“to calm, fortify”).

The name gained broad popularity from the 1970s through the 1990s and remains familiar today across generations. Romanization varies: Eun-jin (standard Revised Romanization), Eunjin (closed form), and Un-jin/Ŭn-jin in systems reflecting the vowel ㅡ. Short forms may use either element (Eun, Jin). As with many Korean names, the exact meaning is individualized, chosen by parents through specific hanja to convey virtues such as kindness, authenticity, and enduring value.
