Kyeongtae (경태) is a Korean masculine given name formed from the Sino-Korean elements Kyeong (경) and Tae (태). Its meaning depends on the hanja chosen: Kyeong may mean “respect” (敬), “celebration” (慶), or “scenery/brightness” (景), while Tae commonly means “great, grand” (太) or “peaceful” (泰). Typical pairings yield readings such as “reverent greatness” (敬太), “auspicious peace” (慶泰), or “bright and great” (景太). Parents select characters from the Supreme Court’s approved list, so exact nuances vary by family tradition.

Used since the Joseon era through modern times, Kyeongtae reflects the classic two-syllable Sino-Korean naming style and remains familiar though not overly common today. Romanization varies: Gyeong-tae is the Revised Romanization, while Kyung-tae, Kyeong-tae, and Kyong-tae also appear; hyphenation or spacing (e.g., Gyeong Tae) differs by preference and passport standards. Related elements include the independent name Tae and other Kyeong– names (e.g., Kyeongho, Kyeongmin).
