Kyu-jong is Korean in Origin.

Kyu-jong (규종) is a Korean masculine given name formed from two Sino-Korean elements. The meaning varies with the hanja chosen: common options for Kyu (규) include 奎 "constellation; literary star," 規 "standard, rule," and 糾/揆 "to correct; to gauge," while Jong (종) may be 鐘/鍾 "bell; to gather," 宗 "ancestral lineage," or 種 "kind, seed." Example pairings such as 奎鍾 can suggest "stellar resonance," and 規宗 can imply "upright lineage."

In modern orthography the name is often romanized Gyu-jong (Revised Romanization), though Kyu-jong, Kyu Jong, Gyu Jong, and Kyujong also appear in passports and stage names; the hyphen is optional. The -jong element has been popular in masculine names across the 20th century, sometimes used as a generational syllable among brothers, so Kyu-jong feels traditional yet refined today. Usage persists, though it is less common among newborns than trendier native-Korean names.
