Kyungmin

Kyungmin is a Korean given name typically consisting of two syllables, 경 and 민. In Hangul it is 경민. The meaning is determined by the hanja chosen for each syllable; there are multiple hanja readings for 경 and 민 allowed for given names by the South Korean government, producing a range of possible meanings. For example, 경 can be read as 景 (scenery, brilliance), 京 (capital), or 敬 (respect); 민 can be read as 民 (people) or 敏 (clever, quick). Combined, Kyungmin can express ideas such as “brilliant people,” “capital people,” or “respectful and clever,” though the exact meaning is set by the hanja selected.

Romanization variants include Gyeongmin (Revised Romanization) and Kyŏngmin (McCune–Reischauer); in everyday use, spellings such as Kyungmin, Kyoungmin, or Kyongmin appear, and hyphenated forms like Kyung-min are common.

In Korea, Kyungmin is used as a given name for individuals and is found among people of various ages and backgrounds; like many Korean two-syllable names, it is chosen to convey particular qualities or blessings through the hanja used. The name is also used by the Korean diaspora worldwide, reflecting its place in contemporary Korean naming practices.
