Se-yeong is Korean in Origin.

Se-yeong (세영) is a Korean unisex given name composed of two Sino-Korean syllables. Its meaning varies with the hanja chosen: Se (세) may be written as 世 “world,” 勢 “vigor/influence,” 洗 “to cleanse,” or 細 “fine, delicate,” while Yeong (영) can be 榮 “glory,” 英 “heroic/talented,” 永 “eternal,” or 映 “to shine.” Parents combine characters to shape nuances such as “eternal radiance” (永映) or “worldly honor” (世榮); many other pairings are possible from the government-approved hanja list.

Used in Korea for centuries within the Chinese character naming tradition and common throughout the 20th century, Se-yeong remains familiar today, with slightly more female bearers in recent decades but clear unisex use in arts and sports. The standard Revised Romanization is Se-yeong; frequent alternatives include Se-young, Seyoung, and the McCune–Reischauer form Se-yŏng. Because meanings hinge on chosen hanja, official documents in South Korea record both hangul and characters for precision.
