What is the meaning of the name Young-saeng ?

The baby name Young-saeng is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /jʌŋ.sɛŋ/ (YUHNG-saeng).

Young-saeng is Korean in Origin.

Young-saeng (영생) is a Korean given name formed from the Sino-Korean syllables yeong (영) and saeng (생). Meaning varies by hanja; the best-known pairing is 永+生, literally "eternal life." Other permitted choices include 榮 'glory' or 英 'heroic' for yeong, and 生 'life' or 笙 'reed pipe' for saeng, yielding senses like "glorious life."

It appeared within the two-syllable Sino-Korean naming tradition that dominated the 20th century; Yeong- was common, while -saeng was comparatively rare, so the full name reads distinctive and leans masculine but remains unisex. Because 영생 also functions as a common noun meaning everlasting life in Korean, the name can carry religious resonance in Buddhist and Christian contexts while remaining broadly secular. Variants: Yeong-saeng (Revised Romanization), Yŏng-saeng (McCune-Reischauer), Young-saeng/Youngsaeng, and occasional Yong-saeng; hyphen optional. Notable bearer: singer Park Young-saeng.
