What is the meaning of the name Eun-sun ?

The baby name Eun-sun is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced [ɯn.sʌn] — approx. 'uhn-suhn' (EUN-sun).

Eun-sun is Korean in Origin.

Eun-sun is a Korean given name built from Sino-Korean morphemes, typically written 은선 in Hangul. Eun (은) can be represented by hanja such as 恩 “grace, kindness,” 銀 “silver,” or 誾 “gentle,” while Sun/Seon (선) commonly uses 善 “goodness, virtue,” 宣 “proclaim,” 先 “first,” or 仙 “immortal.” Accordingly, meanings range from “graceful virtue” and “silver goodness” to “gentle proclamation.” In Revised Romanization the name is more precisely Eun-seon; spellings like Eun-sun reflect older systems or personal preference.

As a two-syllable structure typical of 20th‑century Korean naming, Eun-sun has been especially favored for girls, though it remains technically unisex depending on hanja selection and registration. The “Eun‑” prefix enjoyed strong popularity from the 1970s onward (cf. Eun‑ji, Eun‑young), giving Eun‑sun a classic‑yet‑soft aura. Variants include Eunsun (closed form), Eun Sun (spaced), Eun-seon, and Ŭn-sŏn.
