About the name Huyền

Huyền is a Vietnamese feminine name from Sino-Vietnamese 玄 (huyền), meaning ‘dark, black’ and by extension ‘mysterious, profound’. The same character appears in the Chinese word for Daoist mysticism. Huyền is also the Vietnamese name of the falling tone mark, the grave accent written over vowels. As a given name it stands last in the full name, as in Nguyễn Thị Huyền, and it often appears in compound names such as Ngọc Huyền or Thanh Huyền.
