Meaning of Thien
Thien, pronounced tyen (/tjən/), is a Vietnamese boy’s name that translates to “heaven” or “sky,” evoking a sense of boundless possibility and serene grace. Since it first appeared in U.S. birth records in the late 1970s—when just a handful of families chose it—Thien gently climbed in appeal through the 1980s and ’90s, peaking in 1996 with 42 newborns and a ranking around 742. In recent years its use has settled into a quiet rhythm: in 2024, ten little boys proudly carried the name, placing it at 914th in popularity. With its soft consonants and airy vowel, Thien feels like a breath of fresh air, a subtle reminder that each child can chart their own course under an open sky. Whether embraced to honor Vietnamese heritage or to inspire a spirit of wonder, Thien offers a heartfelt touch of aspiration for any family.
