Inkyoung is Korean in Origin.

Inkyoung (인경) is a Korean given name composed of the elements In (인) and Gyeong (경). As with many Korean names, its meaning depends on the hanja chosen. Common selections include 仁 ‘benevolence’ or 因 ‘cause’ for In, paired with 敬 ‘respect’, 景 ‘brightness/scenery’, or 慶 ‘celebration’ for Gyeong. Favored combinations yield senses such as ‘benevolent and respectful’ (仁敬) or ‘cause for celebration’ (因慶). It is typically feminine today but remains technically unisex. Pronounced [in-gyeong], it’s often rendered in English as In-kyung or Inkyoung.

The name reflects a long-standing Korean practice of virtue-and-aspiration compounds rooted in Sino-Korean vocabulary, with usage especially visible among those born in the late 20th century. Variant romanizations include In-gyeong (Revised Romanization), In-kyŏng or In’gyŏng (McCune–Reischauer), In Kyoung, and In Gyeong. A notable bearer is professional golfer Kim In-kyung (I.K. Kim). While spellings vary, Inkyoung specifically denotes the Hangul 인경.
