Etymology 1
Originally a mere spelling variant of.

Possessive hun started replacing from the 15th century, first only for masculine and neuter plural.

Pronoun

 * 1) The dative case of the third-person plural personal pronoun: them, to them.
 * 2)  The accusative case of the third-person plural personal pronoun: them.

Usage notes
The difference between hen (as direct object) and hun (as indirect object) does not stem from actual language usage, but was created artificially by the prescriptive grammarian Christiaen van Heule in the 17th century in an attempt to differentiate between the accusative (direct object) and dative case (indirect object), a distinction that was then commonly made in the definite article and certain pronouns, but not the personal pronouns.

In practice, hen and hun have been used interchangeably in Modern Dutch since the language has lost its grammatical case system. Many native speakers are not aware or have trouble remembering when to use one over the other, in part because of the rule's artificiality, in part because the distinction in form between the accusative and dative case has not been preserved anywhere else in the language. As a consequence, it is common to hear sentences where they are used in the exactly opposite way from van Heule's rule; for example:
 * Hij heeft hun verraden. (“He has betrayed them.”)
 * Ze zijn met hun uitgegaan. (“They have gone out with them.”)
 * Ik heb het hen gegeven. (“I have given it to them.”)

When the pronoun is unstressed, the problem can be circumvented by using the reduced form ze:
 * Hij heeft ze verraden.
 * Ze zijn met ze uitgegaan.
 * Ik heb het ze gegeven.

Pronoun
(independent possessive hunne)


 * 1) The third-person plural possessive pronoun: their.

Etymology 2
Likely a replacement of or based on dialectal Dutch or a variant thereof, which is a contraction of ' or ', a compound of hun ("them") + lieden or lui (both meaning "men, people"), which then translates roughly into "them-people". Possibly reinfluenced by or confused with the possessive hun. This etymology explains why usage of hun occurs only when referring to people, never to objects. It's similar to dialectal often used colloquially in the Belgian province of Antwerp, which is a contraction of ze ("they") + hun ("them"), and which is also only used for people. Also compare 🇨🇬, which also stems from, but is now used also for things. For more information, see the article in the Dutch Wikipedia.

Pronoun

 * 1)  The nominative case of the third-person plural personal pronoun: they (only referring to people).

Usage notes

 * The use of hun as a subject is considered incorrect or substandard by most speakers, both in written and spoken language, and only occurs in the Netherlands.
 * For a 3rd person plural pronoun referring to people only, or  can be used instead.
