Yongki is Korean in Origin.

Yongki is a multicultural masculine given name found in Korea and among the Chinese diaspora in Indonesia. In Korean, it corresponds to Yong-gi (용기), whose meaning depends on the chosen hanja: Yong may be 龍 “dragon” or 勇 “brave,” while Gi can be 基 “foundation,” 祈 “prayer,” 起 “rise,” and more; common pairings evoke “brave foundation” or “rising courage.” In Korean, yonggi also means “courage,” reinforcing a virtuous tone. In Southeast Asia, Yongki often reflects Hokkien/Teochew or Cantonese romanizations of Chinese pairs such as 永基 (“eternal foundation”) or 勇基 (“brave foundation”).

Usage spans mid-20th‑century Korea through present-day Indonesia, where Yongki functions both as a full name and as a fused spelling of Yong Ki. Variants include Yong-gi, Yong Gi, Yonggi, Yong Kee, and Yongkee. The name is chiefly masculine and carries modern connotations of steadiness, valor, and vitality.
