Kyeongyeon is Korean in Origin.

Kyeongyeon is a Korean given name formed from the Sino-Korean elements gyeong (경) and yeon (연). Its meaning depends on the hanja chosen, with elegant pairings such as 敬妍 (“respectful, beautiful”), 慶娟 (“auspicious, graceful”), 景蓮 (“bright, lotus”), or 瓊淵 (“jade-like, deep”). The combination is used for all genders but tends to be more common for women today, as yeon often carries feminine associations like “grace,” “beauty,” or “lotus.”

Rooted in Korea’s long practice of two-syllable hanja names from the Goryeo and Joseon eras, Kyeongyeon follows the convention of selecting characters from the government-approved list; numerous hanja read as gyeong and yeon allow wide semantic range. Romanization varies: Gyeong-yeon is the standard Revised Romanization; Kyŏngyŏn represents McCune–Reischauer; spellings like Kyeong-yeon, Kyung-yeon, or Gyeongyeon also appear. Hyphenation and spacing are flexible in modern usage and personal preference.
