Un Gyong
A Korean name that barely registers in Poland: just six women carry it, all of them female, and no girl has been given it in the years on record. At root it means "grace and honor".
Un Gyong Pronunciation
Un Gyong is pronounced OON-GIH-onk (/un ˈgɨɔnk/).
What Un Gyong means
Where Un Gyong comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Un Gyong comes to Poland from Korean, and its origin sits outside the Slavic and Latin roots most Polish names grow from. Korean given names usually pair two Sino-Korean syllables, each syllable holding its own sense. Read together here, they give grace and honor.
That meaning does real work. Grace and honor are ideals, not traits of a face or a build. The name does not describe a person. It names a standard.
On a Polish class register, Un Gyong sits apart from Zofia and Katarzyna. It brings no diminutive, no Polish variant, no name-day slot in the calendar. Teachers learn to say it as two clear beats and move on. For the child who carries it, the sense stays legible: łaska i cześć, grace and honor.
