Kyeonghun is Korean in Origin.
Kyeonghun is a Korean masculine given name from the Sino-Korean elements Kyeong (경) and Hun (훈). Each syllable has several hanja, so meanings differ: Kyeong may be 敬 ‘respect’, 慶 ‘celebration’, 景 ‘brightness’, or 經 ‘classic’; Hun may be 勳 ‘merit’, 訓 ‘instruction’, or 薰 ‘fragrance’. Combinations yield senses like ‘celebrated merit’ or ‘respected instruction’. In romanization, Revised Romanization writes it Gyeong-hun; common variants include Kyung-hoon, Kyŏng-hun, and Gyeonghun.
Used widely in South Korea from the mid-20th century, the name reflects parents’ preference for virtuous or auspicious qualities. Hanja are chosen from the government-approved list for personal names, and hyphenation/spelling vary in Korea and the diaspora. While theoretically unisex depending on the characters, it is overwhelmingly masculine in practice. Kyeonghun balances a traditional Sino-Korean pedigree with a familiar, modern sound.
Kyeonghun turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. Such a name is generally either rare, regional or traditional, or a brand-new coinage. Either way, it's a name very few children share.
