Asun
A boy's name with 14 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Only 14 babies have been named Asun in recorded U.S. history. That level of rarity means your child would almost certainly be the only one in their school, their workplace, and most rooms they walk into — a genuinely one-of-a-kind choice.
Asun is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Asun is a boy's baby name of uncertain origin, possibly a variant of Asun used in Korean communities or a shortening of Assumpta. Its short, clean sound gives it a minimalist, modern appeal.
