Changyong is Korean in Origin.

Changyong is an East Asian masculine given name found in Korean and Chinese naming traditions. In Korean (Hangul: 창용, Chang-yong), each syllable is written with hanja chosen for meaning; common pairings include 昌勇 “flourishing courage,” 昶勇 “enduring bravery,” 昌龍 “flourishing dragon,” and 昌永 “prosperity and eternity.” In Chinese, parallel combinations such as 昌勇, 常勇, or 昌永 are attested, with senses like “prosperous and brave” or “everlasting prosperity.” It is distinct from the everyday word chángyòng 常用 (“commonly used”).

Usage peaked in Korea during the mid-to-late 20th century and remains familiar through athletes and entertainers. In China, names featuring 勇 (‘brave’) were especially popular from the 1950s–1980s, and Changyong appears within that trend. Romanization varies: Changyong, Chang-yong, or Chang Yong in English; Jang-yong under Korean Revised Romanization; in Mandarin pinyin Changyong (Chāngyǒng), with older Wade–Giles forms like Chang-yung. Related elements include Chang (昌/昶/暢/常) and Yong (勇/龍/永/鏞/庸).
