Mi-kyung is Chinese, Korean in Origin.
Mi-kyung represents Korean 미경, now romanized Mi-gyeong under Revised Romanization; the hyphenated kyung spelling reflects older or informal systems for 경. As a Korean feminine given name, it is normally composed of two Sino-Korean name syllables, mi and gyeong, chosen from hanja. When written 美景, the literal sense is beauty and scenery or radiance; 美京 gives beauty and capital. Other hanja with the same readings can change the registered meaning.
The name belongs to the postwar South Korean pattern of two-syllable given names written in Hangul for daily use and in hanja for formal interpretation. Mi-kyung was the most common name for girls born in South Korea in 1968, placing it especially in the generation born during rapid urbanization. Spellings vary by romanization: Mi-gyeong is standard in the South, Mi-gyong follows McCune-Reischauer or northern practice, and Mikyung appears in unhyphenated English contexts.
