SeungYoung

SeungYoung is a South Korean unisex given name composed of two syllables: *Seung* (성) and *Young* (영). The name is relatively uncommon but carries traditional Korean meanings. *Seung* (성) generally means "virtuous," "honorable," or "achievement," while *Young* (영) can translate to "bright," "eternal," or "spirit." Together, the name may be interpreted as "honorable spirit" or "virtuous brilliance," reflecting qualities of integrity and enlightenment.

The name has been used in both traditional and modern contexts, often appearing in literature, media, and personal names. It is gender-neutral, meaning it can be applied to individuals regardless of their sex. In Korean culture, names are carefully chosen to reflect hopes for the child’s character or future, and SeungYoung may symbolize aspirations for wisdom, excellence, and positive influence.

While not widely recognized outside Korea, the name has been adopted by individuals in various fields, including entertainment, arts, and academics. Its simplicity and meaningful connotations make it a popular choice for parents seeking a name that balances tradition with modernity.

Like many Korean names, SeungYoung is often accompanied by a family surname (e.g., Kim SeungYoung or Lee SeungYoung), which distinguishes the individual within Korean naming conventions. The name’s rarity outside Korea means it lacks widespread cultural associations beyond its Korean origins.
