Eun-kyung is Korean in Origin.
Eun-kyung (은경) is a Korean feminine given name formed from the Sino-Korean elements eun and gyeong; its sense varies with the hanja selected. Frequent choices include 恩敬 (“grace, kindness” + “respect”), 恩慶 (“grace” + “celebration”), 銀景 (“silver” + “scenery/brightness”), or 恩璟/恩瓊 (“grace” + “gleaming/fine jade”), among many others approved on South Korea’s official hanja list. In Revised Romanization it appears as Eun-gyeong; other spellings are Eun-kyoung, Eun-kyong, Eunkyung, and the McCune–Reischauer form Ŭn-gyŏng. Hyphenation and spacing (Eun Kyung) vary in practice.
Widely used from the late 1960s through the 1980s, Eun-kyung ranked among the most popular names for girls in South Korea, lending it a classic, slightly vintage feel today while remaining familiar and elegant. Though structurally unisex in Korean naming, it is overwhelmingly feminine in modern usage. Diminutives such as Eun or Kyung sometimes function as nicknames.
Eun-kyung is a genuine rarity. In all, it appears just 7 times, across 6 countries.
