Soeun

Meaning & origin

Soeun is a girl's name of Korean origin, traditionally used in Buddhist families. The name means "Small grace — Soeun (Korean 소은, hanja 小恩) combines so '小' (small, gentle) and eun '恩' (grace, kindness, benevolence). A modest, gentle name evoking quiet kindness rather than grand grandeur." and belongs to the Love cluster — names for children loved deeply before they arrive.
