Eun-woo (은우) is a Korean given name built from Sino-Korean syllables, commonly used for all genders. Its romanization varies as Eun-woo, Eunwoo, or Eun-u under Revised Romanization; McCune–Reischauer renders it Ŭn-u. The name has long roots in Korea’s hanja-based naming tradition, but its contemporary rise - especially for boys - has been boosted by celebrities such as actor-singer Cha Eun-woo, while it remains familiar for girls as well (e.g., Jung Eun-woo).

Meaning depends on the hanja chosen for each syllable. Eun (은) may be 恩 “grace/kindness,” 銀 “silver,” or 隱 “hidden,” among others; Woo (우) can be 祐/佑 “divine help,” 宇 “house, cosmos,” 友 “friend,” 雨 “rain,” or 禹 (the legendary Yu). Common pairings include 恩祐 (“grace and protection”), 銀宇 (“silver universe”), and 恩友 (“gracious friend”). With dozens of approved hanja for both elements, Eun-woo offers flexible, aspirational meanings shaped by family choice.
