What is the meaning of the name Shin-ae ?

The baby name Shin-ae is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ɕin.ɛ/ — "SHEEN-eh".

Shin-ae is Korean in Origin.

Shin-ae is a Korean feminine given name written 신애. It rose to popularity in South Korea in the late 20th century, when girls’ names ending in -ae were fashionable, and it remains familiar through actresses and singers bearing it. The name belongs to the tradition of two-syllable Korean given names formed from Sino-Korean elements, each chosen from approved hanja. While modern usage is secular and stylistic, the combination projects warmth and classic simplicity.

Its meaning varies with the hanja selected. Ae is almost always 愛, “love,” while Shin can be 信 “faith, trust,” 新 “new,” 神 “divine,” 慎 “careful,” or 申 “to extend,” producing readings such as “faithful love,” “new love,” or “divine love.” Romanization differs: the official form is Sin-ae, but Shin-ae and Shinae are common in English, with hyphen or spacing optional (e.g., Shin Ae). Related -ae names include Mi-ae and Young-ae.

Shin-ae turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
