Kyung-wha is Korean in Origin.

Kyung-wha is a Korean given name formed from the Sino-Korean elements gyeong (경) and hwa (화). Each syllable can be written with multiple hanja: gyeong often as 景 “brightness/view,” 慶 “celebration,” 敬 “respect,” or 京 “capital,” and hwa as 花 “flower,” 和 “harmony,” 華 “splendor,” or 化 “transformation.” Thus meanings include “celebrated harmony,” “respected flower,” or “bright splendor,” fixed by the bearer’s registered hanja.

Used chiefly for girls, the name was popular in South Korea from the 1960s through the 1980s and remains familiar thanks to violinist Chung Kyung-wha and diplomat Kang Kyung-wha. Romanization varies: Gyeong-hwa (Revised Romanization), Kyŏng-hwa/Kyong-hwa (McCune–Reischauer), and Kyung-hwa or Kyoung-hwa in English contexts; the hyphen is often dropped (Gyeonghwa, Kyunghwa). Though technically unisex in hanja lists, Kyung-wha conveys a graceful, refined image.
