Eunho name meaning: “grace + tiger” (恩虎)

About the name Eunho

Eunho (은호) is a male name formed from two syllables, Eun and Ho. It can also be romanized as Eun-ho, with a hyphen indicating the separate syllables. The first syllable, Eun, can be written with hanja such as 恩 (grace, favor) or 銀 (silver). For the second syllable, Ho, options include 虎 (tiger), 鎬 (a place name), or 浩 (wide, vast).

Combining these, a name like 恩虎 would evoke a sense of 'graceful tiger,' suggesting strength and elegance. Another combination, such as 銀浩, could mean 'vast silver,' bringing to mind a sense of expansive value or brilliance. The choice of hanja significantly shapes the overall impression and meaning of Eunho. This name is mostly given to boys, and while both romanizations are valid, Eunho without a hyphen may read more naturally in many international contexts.

Other spellings

The same name is romanized in several ways: Eunho, Eun-ho. They are all 은호.

How to pronounce Eunho

은호
Voice:

Say it as eun-hoh (2 syllables). Korean doesn't stress one syllable the way English does, so give each beat roughly the same weight rather than saying EUN-hoh.

  • "eu" has no exact English match: say "oo" with your lips relaxed and spread, not rounded.
  • "o" is a pure, rounded "oh", without the "w" glide English adds in "go".
  • The "h" in the middle of the name is very soft and is often almost silent in natural speech.
