The baby name Yeeun is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /je.ɯn/ (approx. YEH-eun).

Yeeun is Korean in Origin.

Yeeun (often written Ye-eun) is a Korean given name, chiefly feminine, spelled in Hangul 예은. Its meaning depends on the hanja selected for each syllable. 예 may be written as 藝 "art, talent," 禮 "courtesy, propriety," or 叡 "wise, bright," while 은 is often chosen as 恩 "grace, kindness," 誾 "gentle," or 銀 "silver." Popular pairings yield senses such as "artful grace," "courteous kindness," or "bright grace."

The name rose to prominence in South Korea from the late 1990s through the 2010s and remains familiar, sustained by its virtuous, softly modern sound and frequent visibility among K-pop and television personalities. Romanization varies: Ye-eun is standard under Revised Romanization, with Yeeun (no hyphen), Ye Eun (spaced), and the simplified Yeun appearing in English contexts. Diminutives like Eunie are occasionally used.
