Ah Young is an English spacing of the Korean feminine given name 아영; the earliest form identifiable from the record is modern Hangul with the hanja 雅英, romanized A-yeong or Ayeong under Revised Romanization and Ayŏng in McCune–Reischauer. The root language of the characters is Classical Chinese as read through Sino-Korean. 雅, a, denotes refinement or cultivated grace; 英, yeong, originally refers to a flower or flourishing brilliance and, by extension, an outstanding person. The literal sense is refined excellence.

As with many Korean given names, Ah Young is not inherited from a medieval personal-name tradition but assembled from name syllables chosen for sound and hanja. The form appears in contemporary South Korea, including the stage name 아영, 雅英 of singer and actress Cho A-young of Dal Shabet. Roman spelling varies by passport style and performance use: A-young, Ayeong, Ahyoung, and Ayŏng.
