Young, also spelled Yeong, Yong, or Yung, is an uncommon Korean surname, a single-syllable Korean given name, and an element in many two-syllable Korean given names. As given name meaning differs based on the hanja used to write it. There are 43 hanja with the reading yeong on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be registered for use in given names, as well as 28 with the reading ryeong and six with the reading nyeong.
As a Korean family name, Young can be written with three different hanja, indicating different lineages. According to the 2000 South Korean Census, a total of 259 people had these family names. [1]
Article 44 of South Korea's Act on Registration of Family Relations gives the Supreme Court the power to define the list of hanja permitted for use in given names. Under the Supreme Court's regulations, that list consists of the Basic Hanja for educational use and a list of additional hanja permitted for use in given names. There are nine basic hanja for educational use with the reading yeong, as well as five with the reading ryeong and one with the reading nyeong which may be pronounced as yeong according to the dueum beopchik rule of Korean phonology, among which three have additional approved variant forms [4]
While as of June 2022 [update], the list of additional hanja permitted for use in given names contains 34 hanja with the reading yeong (including two which are variant forms of another in the same list), 28 hanja with the reading ryeong (with one permitted variant form, and two which are variant forms of one in the list of Basic Hanja for educational use), and five hanja with the reading nyeong: [4]
