Saeun is Korean in Origin.

Saeun (새은) is a modern Korean given name, usually feminine. The first syllable sae is often the native Korean word 새, most commonly taken to mean “new” (and sometimes associated with “bird”), while eun typically uses the hanja 恩 meaning “grace, kindness” or is written purely in Hangul. Depending on writing, parents read it as “new grace,” “renewed kindness,” or, with alternative hanja for Eun such as 銀 (“silver”), “new silver,” though Hangul-only spellings are widespread.

Rising in South Korea from the late 20th century alongside soft, two-syllable names ending in -eun, Saeun remains popular in contemporary generations and appears among performers and athletes. Romanization varies: Sa-eun and Sa Eun are common, with nicknames Sae, Eun, or Saeun-i. Close variants include Se-eun (세은; different vowel), Sae-eon (새언), and other Sae- names like Saerom and Saebyeok. As with many Korean names, the precise meaning depends on the hanja or Hangul chosen.
