Chun
Boy name · 39 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Chun: 39 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 6 births in 1980.
The name Chun has roots in multiple cultures, most prominently Chinese and Korean. In Chinese, it derives from the character 春, meaning "spring" or "the season of renewal," and is used for both boys and girls, often as a unisex given name or part of a compound name. In Korean, it can also carry meanings related to "spring" or "springtime," written as 춘 in Hangul. One famous bearer is Chun Doo-hwan, a former South Korean president whose leadership in the 1980s remains historically significant. The name does not appear strongly tied to Scottish places, but it shares a symbolic connection to the season of spring, much like the Scottish name Aifric, which also evokes renewal and nature.
