Kyung is a Korean unisex given name and uncommon surname. As a given name, it is typically a single-syllable name or an element in two-syllable names, and its meaning depends on the hanja used. It is the revised Romanization spelling consistent with South Korean orthography, unlike the older McCune-Reischauer spelling 'Kyŏng' or other variants. The Korean Hanja form is 경 (gyeong), which can represent various characters but primarily means "scenery" (景), "capital" (京), or "respect" (敬). It is used as a stand-alone name or combined with another syllable. Etymology Kyung is the revised Romanization of the Korean syllable 경 (gyeong). It corresponds to the Chinese name Jing and Japanese names Kyo, Kyō, or Kyou, all derived from the same Sino-Xenic pronunciations of hanja. The meaning varies by the chosen hanja characters, as detailed in the root name Gyeong. As a Given Name Kyung can be a stand-alone given name, but it more commonly appears as the first syllable of two-syllable names such as Kyung-won, Kyung-soo, or Kyung-mi.
