In Korean many female names end with '숙', '경', '지', '희', '아', '영', '주', '미', '은', '혜', '현', '미', '선', '연' etc. Many male names end with '호', '준', '석', '일', '훈', '기', '성', '우', '혁', '섭' etc.
Korean names are mostly made by combining one letter with one letter. So it could be the male one even if it ends with '영'. For example, 도영, 준영, 석영, 남영. And there are some Korean people who had been given the name of the opposite sex.
