Eun-Mi is Korean in Origin.

Eun-Mi is a Korean feminine given name written in Hangul as 은미. It joins Eun (은) - most often from the hanja 恩 “grace; kindness” or 銀 “silver” - with Mi (미), commonly from 美 “beauty.” Because multiple hanja may be chosen for each syllable, the sense can vary, yielding readings such as “graceful beauty,” “kind beauty,” or “silver beauty.” In Revised Romanization it appears as Eun-mi or Eunmi; McCune–Reischauer gives Ŭn-mi. Spelling variants in English include Eunmi, Un-mi, and Eun Mee.

Two-syllable names ending in -mi were especially fashionable in South Korea from the 1970s through the 1990s, and Eun‑Mi remains familiar among Koreans at home and abroad. Related formations pair the same elements in reverse (Mi‑Eun) or substitute near-cognates (Eun‑Ji, Mi‑Young). Diminutives such as Eun, Mi, and Mimi occur in casual use. The name’s prevailing associations are elegance, benevolence, and classic feminine beauty.
