Inkyeong is Korean in Origin.
Inkyeong (인경) is a Korean given name composed of the Sino-Korean elements in and gyeong, each written with various hanja. Common choices include 仁 (in, benevolence), 印 (seal), or 認 (acknowledge) paired with 敬 (gyeong, respect), 景 (scenery/brightness), 慶 (celebration), or 經 (classic/discipline). Depending on the hanja, Inkyeong can mean “benevolent and respectful” (仁敬), “bright humaneness” (仁景), or other favorable combinations emphasizing virtue, wisdom, or auspiciousness.
Usage skews feminine in South Korea, aligning with the popularity of -kyung names in the late 20th century, though it remains structurally unisex. The name appears in records and popular culture through bearers such as LPGA golfer Kim In‑kyung (I.K. Kim). Romanization varies: standard Revised Romanization is In-gyeong, while English spellings commonly include In-kyung and Inkyeong. Because dozens of government-approved hanja exist for both syllables, families choose characters to tailor virtues or imagery meaningful to them.
