Dang

Dang is a gender-neutral name of Thai origin. Once a popular name for boys and girls, it’s grown unique and is used more often as a nickname and means “red.” It goes without saying that your little one will be a truly precious addition to your home, and their name will be the perfect reminder of that. In Thai culture, the color red represents Sunday, the sun, and the god Surya. This deity is said to have ridden his chariot across the sky to defeat the demons of darkness. Dang can also be a form of the Vietnamese Đăng, illuminating the name with the meaning “rising light.” While nighttime may bring a fear of the dark to other little ones, baby Dang only has to think of their name to know that there aren’t any monsters lurking under their bed.
