A name that means "grace, kindness, silver".

Eun (은) is a Korean syllable written with several possible hanja.

Where Eun stands.

Eun does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
