Hyon is of Korean origin and means "kindness" or "benevolence". It's composed of two characters, "hyo" meaning kindness and "on" meaning benevolence. This name has been traditionally given to both boys and girls in Korea, reflecting the positive qualities it embodies. The name Hyon was also used during the Three Kingdoms period (57 BCE – 668 CE) in ancient Korea. It's a unique yet meaningful choice for parents looking for a distinctive name with profound significance.
The name Hyon was not particularly popular during 1979, with only five babies given this name that year out of total births.
