📖 Über Hyun
Hyun (현) ist ein klassischer koreanischer Vorname, der vom Hanja-Zeichen 賢 abstammt, das 'tugendhaft und würdig' bedeutet und das konfuzianische Ideal des moralisch gebildeten Menschen verkörpert. Eine zweite Hanja-Form, 玄, ergänzt die Bedeutung um 'geheimnisvoll und tiefgründig' im Sinne des Taoismus. Als Einzelname wie auch als Bestandteil von Komposita wie Hyunwoo oder Hyunsoo ist er seit Jahrhunderten in der koreanischen Namenskultur verankert und durch die Hallyu-Welle weltweit bekannt geworden.
