Around the world, 소영 (素英 , 소영 , Soyeong ) is a common principally female, but very infrequently masculine first name. The first name 소영 is habitual in South Korea, where it is quite a common girly name, China, where it is quite a rare principally girly, but scarcely male name, and Australia, where it is a rare female name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in China, South Korea, and the United States. Much less frequently, 소영 is the last name as well as the forename.
