Eun-kwang is Korean in Origin.

Eun-kwang (은광) is a Korean given name formed from Eun and Gwang. In Revised Romanization it is Eun-gwang; Eun-kwang reflects older McCune–Reischauer and legacy English spellings. Eunkwang (without a hyphen) and Eun Gwang (with a space) also appear in modern usage. The combination is established but relatively uncommon, and is perceived as traditionally masculine because the element Gwang has long been favored in men’s names, though Eun by itself often appears in feminine compounds.

Meaning varies with the chosen hanja. Common selections include Eun as 恩 “grace; kindness,” 銀 “silver,” or 殷 “abundant,” paired with Gwang as 光 “light; radiance” or 廣 “broad; vast,” yielding interpretations such as “graceful light,” “silver radiance,” or “abundant brightness.” South Korea’s approved hanja list offers over thirty characters for Eun and around a dozen for Gwang, allowing many legitimate combinations and nuanced readings.

Eun-kwang doesn't appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. Such a name is generally either rare, regional or traditional, or a brand-new coinage. By any reading, it's an exceptionally uncommon choice.
