Kun is a gender-neutral baby name of Chinese origin, meaning “earth” and “female.” In certain Chinese cultures, it’s believed that the world is made up of several elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Kun, or earth, is a powerful element of harvest and represents a bountiful time for everyone. In China, kun also symbolizes nourishment, fertility, and a perfect time to build a happy family.
