What is the meaning of the name Yongky ?

The baby name Yongky is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced {'common_english': 'YONG-kee', 'ipa': '/ˈjɔŋki/'}.

Yongky is Chinese, Indonesian, Korean in Origin.

Yongky is a modern Indonesian given name, most common among Chinese-Indonesian families and occasionally influenced by Korean naming. It likely fuses Sino-Indonesian elements: Yong may reflect Mandarin/Hokkien 永 “everlasting” or 勇 “brave,” while -ki/-ky renders 基 “foundation” or 祺 “auspicious.” In a Korean reading, it parallels Yong‑gi (용기), a two-syllable name whose hanja can include 龍 “dragon” or 勇 “brave” plus 氣/基 “spirit/foundation,” and whose everyday Korean meaning is “courage.” Across these lineages, Yongky conveys ideas of endurance, bravery, good fortune, or firm grounding.

Used in Indonesia since the late 20th century, Yongky functions as a friendly masculine given name or nickname, sometimes chosen for its international, easy-to-pronounce sound. Common variants include Yongki (the most prevalent), Yongkie, Yongkee, Yonggi, Yong-gi, and the shorter Yong. Because the spelling adapts multiple languages, exact meaning depends on the intended characters, family heritage, and regional usage.
