All around the world, 명 (明 , Myung
, 명
) is a prevalent dominantly boy's, but infrequently female given name. The forename 명 is habitual in China, where it is a common mostly male, but infrequently feminine name, South Korea, where it is quite a rare unisex name, and the United States, where it is quite a rare largely girly, but infrequently male name. Very seldom, 명 is the last name as well as the forename.
명 is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Qin Ming , the Water Margin character; Kong Ming , the Water Margin character; Ming the Merciless , the Flash Gordon Character; Jing Tianming , the principal character in The Legend of Qin, Qin's Moon and Yan Ming , the character from Romance of the Three Kingdoms, among other works.
