Tae-yong is Korean in Origin.

Tae-yong (태용) is a Korean masculine given name formed from Sino-Korean morphemes. Tae most often derives from the hanja 太 or 泰, meaning “great, grand, exalted,” or “peaceful.” Yong corresponds to several hanja, frequently 勇 “brave,” 龍 “dragon,” 容 “appearance; tolerance,” or 用 “use; service.” Combinations yield readings such as “great bravery,” “great/august dragon,” “exalted bearing,” or “of great use,” with the precise sense determined by the characters chosen by the family.

Attested in South Korea since the early 20th century and especially popular from the 1970s to 1990s, Tae-yong fits the common two-syllable, hyphenated style and is chiefly masculine. Romanization is Tae-yong (Revised) or T’aeyong (McCune–Reischauer); everyday spellings include Taeyong and Tae Yong. Distinct from Tae-young (태영, Yeong), it appears across sports, film, and music, keeping the name familiar in Korea and its diaspora.
