Sungye is Korean in Origin.

Sungye is a Korean given name, typically two syllables whose meaning depends on the hanja chosen. It is most often a spacing-free romanization of Seong-ye (성예) or Seung-ye (승예). Common hanja for Seong include 成 “to accomplish,” 聖 “sacred/wise,” 星 “star,” and 盛 “abundant,” while Seung may be 勝 “victory,” 昇 “to rise,” or 承 “to inherit.” The element Ye (예) is frequently written with 藝 “art/talent,” 禮 “propriety/grace,” or 叡 “bright intelligence,” yielding readings such as “accomplished grace,” “star of artistry,” or “rising wisdom.”

Two-syllable Sino-Korean names built from hanja have been standard since the late Joseon period and remain common today; Ye-bearing names have trended especially in modern generations. Variants and spellings include Seong-ye, Sung-ye, Sung Ye, Seongye, Seung-ye, and Seungye, reflecting different romanization choices and family preference. Usage skews feminine with 藝/禮, but 勝-based forms read as unisex.
