In Revised Romanization it’s Hae-gyeong; other spellings include Hae-kyung, Hae-gyong, Haekyung, and Hae-gyŏng in McCune–Reischauer. The hyphen is optional in English sources. The name has been used in South Korea since the mid-20th century and remains recognizable among the diaspora, aligning with a broader fashion for -gyeong/-kyung names.

Its meaning varies with the hanja chosen. For Hae (해), common characters include 海 ‘sea’ and 解 ‘to untie, explain.’ For Gyeong (경), frequent options are 慶 ‘celebration,’ 敬 ‘respect,’ 景 ‘scenery/brightness,’ 暻 ‘radiance,’ and 京 ‘capital.’ Thus combinations such as 海景 (‘seascape/sea and brightness’), 海敬 (‘sea and respect’), or 解慶 (‘resolution and joy’) are possible. Numerous other sanctioned hanja exist, so families select pairings to craft a personal, auspicious sense.
