Origin and meaning of Na-yeon
Na-yeon (나연) pairs 娜 (na), 'graceful, elegant', with 妍 (yeon), 'beautiful, lovely', giving the overall meaning 'graceful and beautiful'; the pairing with 延 (yeon), 'to extend, prolong', is also used, shifting the sense toward 'lasting grace'. The precise reading depends on the hanja actually chosen at birth. The name is known internationally thanks to Im Na-yeon, singer and member of the group TWICE, who has boosted its recognition abroad.
