Sehun is Korean in Origin.
Sehun is a masculine Korean given name written 세훈 in Hangul. It consists of the Sino-Korean syllables se and hun and is usually romanized Se-hun; the solid form Sehun and the variant Sehoon also appear in passports and media.
Its meaning varies with the hanja. Popular choices include 世 (world, generation), 勢 (vigor, influence), or 洗 (to cleanse) for se, paired with 勳/勛 (merit, distinction), 訓 (instruction), or 薰/熏 (fragrance) for hun - yielding readings such as 世勳 "worldly merit" or 世訓 "generational instruction." Two-syllable Sino-Korean names like Sehun have been common since the Joseon era and remain widely used; public figures such as Seoul mayor Oh Se-hoon (吳世勳) and entertainer Oh Sehun have kept the name prominent. Related forms include Se-hun, Sehun, and Sehoon.
