While not everyone can harness the power of the moon, a baby named Hang may just have a shot. This feminine name means "the moon" in Vietnamese and is as rare as a total eclipse. Hang might remind some of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Vietnam, where children walk around with lanterns to help a man called Cuội, who held on to a bayan tree as it floated to the moon, find his way back to Earth. Hang is also a last name in Chinese that has gender-neutral usage as a given name and different meanings depending on how it’s written. These include “boat,” “sail,” “business,” “rushing current,” “trusted,” “healthy,” “peaceful,” and “abundant.” You'll have plenty of reasons to celebrate once your little mooncake is by your side!
