Yi-kyung, also spelled Lee-kyung, is a Korean unisex given name, predominantly feminine.[1] Due to North–South differences in the Korean language, in North Korea some of these names start with an "r" (ㄹ) in both spoken and written form, which does not occur in word-initial position in Korean as spoken in the South. There are 35 hanja with the reading "yi", 26 hanja with the reading "ri", and 54 hanja with the reading "kyung" on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be registered for use in given names.[2]
