Haeryung is Korean in Origin.
Haeryung represents Korean 해령, officially romanized Hae-ryeong and historically Hae-ryŏng. Its root language is Korean, though the name is usually built from Sino-Korean syllables matching hanja. Hae may use 海, sea; ryeong/ryung may use 玲, tinkling jade, 令, command, or 靈, spirit. Because the bearer’s hanja are not specified, no single literal meaning applies. The earliest secure written form is the Hangul spelling 해령.
In Korean naming practice, Haeryung fits the common two-syllable given-name pattern placed after a family name, as in Na Hae-ryung, the Seoul-born singer and actress associated with EXID and BESTie. English spellings vary because 령 has a medial r after the first syllable, while official romanization favors ryeong over ryung. Hae-ryeong, Haeryeong, Haeryoung, and Hae-ryoung are therefore spelling variants of the same Korean form. Modern visibility is chiefly South Korean and diaspora Korean, with entertainment media reinforcing Haeryung.
Haeryung does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
