Eun-young is Korean in Origin.

Eun-young (은영) is a Korean given name built from Sino-Korean elements eun and young. Depending on the hanja chosen - commonly 恩 ‘grace, kindness’ or 銀 ‘silver’ for eun, and 英 ‘flower, heroic’, 永 ‘eternal’, 瑛 ‘sparkling jade’, or 榮 ‘glory’ for young - the name yields readings such as ‘graceful hero,’ ‘eternal grace,’ ‘silver and jade,’ or ‘grace and glory.’

Used since the mid-20th century, it became especially popular for women in South Korea in the 1970s–1990s, though it can be unisex. Romanized variants include Eun-yeong (Revised Romanization), Ŭn-yŏng (McCune–Reischauer), and forms like Eun Young, Eunyeong, or Unyong; in hanja it may appear as 恩英, 恩永, 恩瑛, 恩榮, 銀英, among others. The name’s flexible hanja choices let families tailor auspicious meanings while keeping a soft, classic sound familiar across the Korean diaspora.
