Baekhyun

Meaning & origin

Baekhyun is a boy's name of Korean origin, traditionally used in Buddhist families. The name means "A hundred virtues, from Sino-Korean baek 百 (hundred) and hyun 賢 (worthy, virtuous, sage). The number hundred signifies completeness and fullness, so the name evokes a full and abundant measure of sagely virtue, naming a child to be replete with worth and wisdom in every form." and belongs to the Wisdom cluster — names meaning knowledge, insight, and thoughtful presence.

Beyond its Buddhist heritage, Baekhyun is also used in Christian traditions, reflecting how this name has traveled across cultures.

Common among Korean families, Baekhyun carries cultural weight that goes beyond its dictionary definition — it's a name with a story and a community.
