Kyung-taek is Korean in Origin.

Kyung-taek (경택) is a Korean masculine given name built from Sino-Korean elements and romanized in several ways. Under South Korea’s Revised Romanization it appears as Gyeong-taek; other spellings include Kyŏng-t’aek (McCune–Reischauer), Kyungtaek, Gyeongtaek, and Kyeong-taek. The hyphen is optional in modern usage. The name has been used throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, with -taek names carrying a traditionally masculine, dignified tone.

Its meaning depends on the hanja selected for each syllable. Common choices for Gyeong/Kyung (경) include 敬 “respect,” 景 “brightness,” and 慶 “celebration,” while Taek (택) is often 澤 “beneficence, grace,” but may also be 擇 “selection” or 宅 “dwelling.” Thus combinations like 敬澤 (“grace of respect”) or 景澤 (“bright beneficence”) are typical. Parents choose characters from the government-approved hanja list, yielding many valid variant meanings while preserving the name’s refined, upright image.
