Mikyung is Korean in Origin.
Mikyung is a Korean feminine given name composed of the Sino-Korean elements mi (미) and gyeong/kyung (경). Its meaning depends on the hanja selected; frequent pairings include 美景 “beautiful scenery,” 美敬 “beauty and respect,” 美慶 “beautiful celebration,” and 美京 “beautiful capital,” among many others approved for given names in South Korea. The name conveys refined beauty aligned with virtue or auspicious imagery.
It enjoyed great popularity for girls in South Korea from the 1960s through the 1980s, and remains familiar among the diaspora, though it is rarer for newborns today as naming fashions shift. Romanization varies: Mikyung, Mi-kyung, Mi Kyung, Migyeong (Revised Romanization), and Mikyŏng (McCune–Reischauer); less common spellings include Mikyong or Mi-gyung. Related names built on the same first element include Mira, Mijung, and Miji, while Kyung appears in Kyungmi and Kyunghee.
