Hee-kyung

Hee-kyung is a Korean given name, typically feminine. Like many Korean names, it is composed of two Sino-Korean roots, each carrying independent meaning. The possibilities for these roots are numerous, leading to a wide variety of possible interpretations and connotations for the name.

Common elements and meanings associated with "Hee" (희) include: joy, happiness, delight, bright, hope, and beautiful.

Common elements and meanings associated with "Kyung" (경) include: respect, honor, scenery, view, capital city, and bright.

Therefore, a name like Hee-kyung could suggest meanings like "bright respect," "joyful scenery," or other combinations depending on the specific hanja (Chinese characters) used to write the name. The interpretation is ultimately determined by the parents' choice of hanja.

The name's popularity has fluctuated over time and can vary depending on the generation and region within Korea. While not as commonly given in recent decades as some other names, it remains a recognizable and meaningful Korean name.
