Na-eun is Korean in Origin.

Na-eun (나은) is a Korean feminine given name formed from two syllables whose meanings vary by the hanja chosen. Common choices include Na (娜 “graceful,” 羅 “silk, gauze”) and Eun (恩 “kindness, grace,” 銀 “silver,” 殷 “abundant”), yielding readings such as “graceful kindness” or “silvery elegance.” Some families also use pure Hangul with no hanja, drawing on the everyday Korean word na-eun, the attributive form of “better,” to express hopes for continual improvement and a brighter future.

The name gained steady popularity in South Korea from the late 20th century and is widely used today, helped by high-profile bearers such as Son Na-eun (Apink) and Lee Na-eun (April). Variants in romanization and spacing include Na-eun, Naeun, and Na Eun; related-sounding names include Na-yeon (Nayeon), though they use different syllables and meanings.
