Kyeong is Korean in Origin.

Kyeong is a Korean given name element based on the syllable 경, whose meaning depends on the hanja chosen. Common choices include 慶 “celebration,” 敬 “respect,” 景 “scenery/brightness,” 京 “capital,” 經 “classics; to pass through,” and 瓊 “fine jade,” among others; South Korea permits numerous hanja for this reading. Pronounced roughly “gyung” (between g and k), it is gender-neutral and appears both as a standalone single-syllable name and, more often, in compounds such as Min-kyeong, Eun-kyeong, or Kyeong-su.

Usage spans Korea’s Sino-Korean naming tradition from the Goryeo and Joseon periods to today. As a romanization, Kyeong coexists with variants Gyeong (Revised Romanization), Kyŏng (McCune–Reischauer), Kyung, and Kyoung, reflecting different transcription systems and family preferences. The element has trended in many eras - especially popular in late 20th‑century feminine names - while retaining a timeless, scholarly aura linked to meanings of virtue, celebration, and luminous outlook.
