Sung-kyu is Korean in Origin.
Sung-kyu is a Korean masculine given name formed from Sino‑Korean elements whose hanja decide the meaning. For Sung (성), common characters include 成 “accomplish,” 聖 “sage/holy,” and 星 “star”; for Kyu (규), 圭 “jade tablet,” 奎 “astral mansion,” and 規 “rule/pattern” are frequent. Combinations like 成圭 (“accomplished jade”), 聖圭 (“holy jade”), or 星奎 (“starry mansion”) suggest achievement, virtue, or celestial favor.
The name has been well used in South Korea since the mid‑20th century and remains familiar today, chiefly for boys. Romanization varies: Seong-gyu (Revised Romanization), Sŏng-gyu (McCune–Reischauer), and the popular spellings Sung-kyu/Sung-gyu in everyday and diaspora use. The hyphen reflects standard two-syllable style. A visible bearer is singer Kim Sung-kyu of INFINITE, which has helped entrench this spelling in modern media.
