Luong

Luong is a gender-neutral name of Vietnamese and Chinese origin. It is a simplified version of the Vietnamese last name Lương, which in turn comes from the Chinese last name Liang. Liang was the name of an ancient region in present-day western China, so using it as a last name can be taken to mean “from Liang.” Luong can also mean “good,” “virtuous,” and “respectable” from the character 亮, and “bright,” “brilliant,” and “radiant” from 良. For those looking to honor any Vietnamese or Chinese heritage, Luong is a great choice for baby, with its roots stretching back to the distant past.
