Comments for HYUN:

I thought this could be male, too. I knew a guy once named Hyun.

This is my mom's real name. She prefers to be called Hannah, since it's hard to pronounce this name in English. I kind of like it.

"Hyun" is usually only used as a component of a name nowadays. Most Koreans use names with at leat two syllables.

My mother has a friend with this name and it is used by itself.

This is my brother's name. This means either "wise" or "gentle" in Sino-Korean. Hyun can be a name itself but it is usually combined with other name suffixes. For example, my brother's whole name is Hyunwoong (Wise man), even though people just call him Hyun. I think this name has a good meaning and sound. I will definitely name my son this.
