Thien is a Vietnamese name of ancient origin, derived from "thiên," meaning heaven or sky. It is often associated with Buddhist and Taoist traditions, symbolizing celestial beings and natural world. Believed to hold significant power and influence over an individual's fate, Thien was popular among devoted practitioners of these religions in Vietnam, later gaining international recognition. Beyond its meanings related to heaven and sky, it can also represent mindfulness, inner peace, and kindness.
