Eunmi is Korean in Origin.

Eunmi is a Korean feminine given name composed of Sino-Korean elements eun and mi. Depending on the hanja chosen, Eun (恩 “grace, favor”; 銀 “silver”; 殷 “abundant,” etc.) combines with Mi (美 “beauty”; 微 “slight”; 味 “flavor”) to yield meanings such as “graceful beauty,” “silver beauty,” or other nuanced readings. In Korean it is pronounced [ɯn.mi], approximated in English as uhn-mee; the vowel in eun has no exact English equivalent.

Usage rose in South Korea in the late 20th century, especially among girls born in the 1970s–1990s, and it remains familiar though less common for newborns today. Romanized variants include Eun-mi (Revised Romanization), Ŭnmi (McCune–Reischauer), and unhyphenated or spaced forms like Eunmi and Eun Mi; informal spellings such as Eun-Mi or Unmi appear in diaspora contexts. Related names pair Eun- with other feminine finals (e.g., Eunhee, Eunjin), and nicknames may shorten to Eun or Mimi.
