As a name element, Kyong/Gyeong has been widely used throughout the 20th century in Korea, especially in two-syllable compounds. It featured prominently in feminine names such as Eun-kyong and Mi-kyong, and also in masculine forms like Kyong-ho or Kyong-su. Used alone, Kyong is less common in Korea but occurs among the diaspora, where older spellings persist. Variants and related forms include Gyeong, Kyung, Kyŏng, Kyoung, and compound names beginning or ending with -kyong, each shaped in meaning by its paired hanja.
