Kyeongwon is Korean in Origin.

Kyeongwon (경원) is a Korean given name formed from two Sino-Korean syllables, typically written with Hanja. In Revised Romanization it appears as Gyeong-won; other common spellings include Kyung-won, Kyong-won, and the solid forms Kyeongwon/Gyeongwon. Because multiple Hanja can represent each syllable, meanings vary, e.g., 慶源 “joyous source,” 敬園 “respectful garden,” 景原 “scenic plain,” or 京元 “capital’s origin.” Parents select Hanja from the government-approved list, so combinations are numerous.

Used for all genders, Kyeongwon has been especially familiar in Korea throughout the 20th century, borne by figures such as aviator Park Kyung-won and politician Na Kyung-won. It remains rare outside Korean communities and is usually chosen for its auspicious, classical resonance rather than trendiness. Related names share the first element Kyeong- (e.g., Kyeongmin, Kyeongseo) or the second -won (e.g., Seowon, Jiwon), while the core form’s meaning depends entirely on the specific Hanja pair.
