Yong-nam is a Korean masculine given name.
Its meaning differs based on the hanja used to write each syllable of the name.
There are 24 hanja with the reading "yong" and five hanja with the reading "nam" on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be used in given names.
Additionally, there is one hanja with the reading "ryong" (龍, meaning "dragon") which may also be written and pronounced "yong" in South Korea, where the historical initial rieul (ㄹ) is not pronounced due to the dueum beopchik rule of phonology in the standard language.
