Sanghyun is a Korean masculine given name; the recoverable Korean form is 상현 in Hangul, romanized Sang-hyeon under Revised Romanization. It is typically a Sino-Korean two-syllable compound, not a native Korean word. The syllable 상 may use hanja 常, always or constant; 현 can represent 賢, worthy or wise, 玄, profound, or 現, manifest. The sense everlasting or perpetual therefore belongs to a selected hanja reading, not to every bearer’s spelling.

In Korea it belongs to the contemporary stock of male names shaped by family hanja choices and, sometimes, generation syllables. Records show joined, spaced, and hyphenated forms; Sang-hyun is common in English contexts, while Sanghyeon follows current South Korean romanization. Related spellings include Sang Hyun and 상현. Names such as Sangwon, Sangmin, and Sangho share the first syllable but may use different characters. Outside Korea, usage is concentrated in diaspora registration rather than mainstream naming lists.
