Hyun-bin is Korean in Origin.

Hyun-bin is a Korean given name written 현빈 in Hangul, composed of the syllables Hyun/Hyeon (현) and Bin (빈). In Revised Romanization it appears as Hyeon-bin; other forms include Hyunbin, Hyeonbin, and the McCune-Reischauer Hyŏn-pin. While theoretically unisex depending on the chosen hanja, it has been used predominantly for boys in South Korea from the late 20th century onward.

As with many two-syllable Korean names of Sino-Korean origin, its meaning varies with the hanja registered for each syllable; dozens are officially permitted for both elements. Commonly selected combinations include 賢彬 "virtuous and refined," 玄彬 "mysterious/profound and refined," 炫斌 "brilliant and cultivated," 玹彬 "jade-like and refined," and 顯斌 "illustrious and cultivated." Such compound names have been standard since the Goryeo-Joseon eras and remain popular today. The stage name of the internationally known actor Hyun Bin (often written 玄彬) has further familiarized the name abroad.
