Hae is Chinese, Korean in Origin.

Hae is a Korean given-name syllable written 해 in hangul. Its native Korean base is the noun 해, sun and by extension day, attested in fifteenth-century Middle Korean as ᄒᆡ, often romanized hay in linguistic transcription. The syllable may also represent Sino-Korean readings of hanja, especially 海, sea, or 解, to loosen, explain, so the exact literal sense depends on the characters chosen for a particular name.

As an independent name, Hae is uncommon in Korea; it more often appears as one element in compounds such as Hae-in or Da-hae, borne by South Korean actors Jung Hae-in and Lee Da-hae. Korean naming practice has used both native vocabulary and hanja since the premodern period, with family registries recording the selected characters. In the United States, census and SSA data show rare usage concentrated among Asian American bearers and leaning female in recent records.
