Ryun is a cross-cultural given name with two main sources. In Irish contexts, it functions as a modern respelling of Ryan, from Old Irish Rían, often interpreted as "little king" from rí with the diminutive -án. In Korean, Ryun represents the syllable 륜, written with various hanja such as 倫 (ethics), 輪 (wheel; cycle), or 侖 (order), so the meaning depends on the characters chosen.

As a personal name in the English-speaking world, Ryun emerged alongside creative variants of Ryan in the late 20th century and suits contemporary minimalist styles. It also echoes the medieval Welsh name Rhun, though the forms are distinct. Common variants and near-equivalents include Ryan, Rian, Ryon, Rhyan, and, in Korean romanization, Ryun or Yun as elements in compound names. Its appeal lies in a familiar sound paired with distinctive spelling and layered meanings.
