Dun is a masculine name with multiple cultural origins and meanings. In Scottish and Irish contexts, it derives from Gaelic, meaning 'brown-haired' or 'brown one,' and sometimes appears as a shortened form of Duncan ('dark warrior'). In Chinese culture, Dun (敦) can represent qualities like honesty, sincerity, or generosity, depending on the specific character used. As an English surname and place name, Dun refers to a dull grayish-brown color or relates to hills and forts (from the Old English 'dūn' meaning hill). The name's brevity gives it a strong, straightforward quality while its cross-cultural presence offers diverse heritage connections. Never widely popular as a first name in Western countries, Dun maintains an uncommon status that might appeal to parents seeking a simple, distinctive name with multicultural resonance.
