Ngoc Han is Vietnamese in Origin.

Ngọc Hân is a Vietnamese feminine compound given name formed from Sino‑Vietnamese morphemes: Ngọc (玉) meaning “jade, precious gem,” and Hân (欣) meaning “joy, gladness.” Together it conveys “precious joy,” evoking purity, value, and cheerful grace. Both elements are popular in names and signal refinement and good fortune.

Documented bearers include the 18th‑century princess‑poet Lê Ngọc Hân, wife of Emperor Quang Trung, and the modern titleholder Đặng Thị Ngọc Hân (Miss Vietnam 2010), anchoring the name in both literary heritage and contemporary use. Common across Vietnam and the diaspora from the late 20th century onward, it appears with or without diacritics as Ngọc Hân/Ngoc Han, sometimes hyphenated (Ngọc‑Hân). Variants and related forms include standalone Hân, Ngọc, and cognate pairings like Ngọc Anh or Ngọc Hà; a semantic Chinese parallel is Yuxin. While Ngọc can be unisex, the full compound is predominantly feminine.
