Seong, also spelled Song or Sung, is an uncommon Korean family name, a single-syllable Korean given name, as well as a common element in two-syllable Korean given names. The meaning differs based on the hanja used to write it. ==Family name== The family name Seong is written with only one hanja, meaning "succeed" or "accomplish" ().
