Jae-kyung is Korean in Origin.

Jae-kyung (재경) is a Korean unisex given name formed from the Sino-Korean elements Jae (재) and Gyeong/Kyung (경). Each element may be written with multiple hanja, so its sense depends on the characters chosen; the government-approved list offers about twenty for 재 and over seventy for 경. Popular choices yield meanings such as talent + respect (才·敬), talent + celebration (才·慶), to exist in the capital (在·京), wealth + brightness (財·炅), or material + scenery (材·景).

In use since the mid-20th century, Jae-kyung has been borne by both men and women and remains familiar in contemporary South Korea, with recent visibility skewing slightly female in pop culture. Standard romanization under Revised Romanization is Jae-gyeong; other spellings include Jae-kyung, Jaekyung, Jae Kyung, and Jae-kyoung, while McCune–Reischauer renders it Chaekyŏng. Flexible in meaning and polished in sound, it bridges traditional hanja symbolism with modern style.
