Eunwoo is the English styling of Korean 은우, a two-syllable given name written in Hangul; in Revised Romanization it is more strictly Eun-u, while Eunwoo reflects common personal-name styling. Its root language is Korean, though many readings use Sino-Korean morphemes attached to hanja. Eun may correspond to 恩 grace, 銀 silver, or 殷 abundant; u/woo may be 宇 house, eaves, universe, 優 excellent, 祐 help, or 雨 rain. Without the chosen hanja, the literal meaning is not fixed.

As a Korean given name, Eunwoo belongs to the modern two-syllable pattern often paired with a one-syllable family name. It is most often treated as masculine in contemporary romanized records, although Korean names are not grammatically gendered. Variant spellings include Eun-woo, Eun-u, Eun Woo, and McCune-Reischauer Ŭnu. The name gained recognition through South Korean entertainment, especially singer-actor Cha Eun-woo; such visibility reflects media circulation rather than an older religious or literary tradition.
