Ye-dam is Korean in Origin.

Ye-dam (예담) is a modern Korean given name, typically unisex. It consists of two syllables that can be written with many hanja; common choices include 예 (藝 ‘art, talent’ or 禮 ‘propriety, grace’; 豫 ‘prelude, beforehand’) and 담 (潭 ‘deep pool,’ 談 ‘speech, discourse,’ 淡 ‘gentle, serene,’ or 膽 ‘courage’). Depending on the combination, meanings span “artful and eloquent,” “graceful depth,” “serene talent,” or “courage with refinement.” Romanizations vary: Yedam, Ye-dam, or Ye Dam.

Two-syllable Sino-Korean names have long roots, and Ye-dam aligns with late 20th–21st century tastes favoring soft vowels and virtue/ability imagery. The name gained wider recognition in the 2010s through pop culture figures (e.g., singer Bang Yedam), and it appears in birth data as a modest but steady choice. Informal forms include Yedami or Ye-ya; orthography varies between hyphenated and spaced styles, with no standardized English variant.
