Short and sweet, Un is a boy’s name of Chinese origin. Derived from the Chinese surname Ruan, this lovely moniker is a great way to pay homage to baby’s heritage. Interestingly, the ruan is also a traditional lute-like type of Chinese instrument, which little Un might enjoy when they grow up. Un might also have roots in Old Norse, meaning “wave,” and it is also an English prefix that means “not.” With so many connections, baby is sure to feel that they can be whatever they aspire to be—or not!
