Origin: Vietnamese

Meaning: From Liang

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 Northwest China. Another ancient city-state, Qin, destroyed the region in 641 BC, but some Liang locals kept the name and passed it down as a last name. As a result, the name can be taken to mean “from Liang.” For those looking to honor any Vietnamese or Chinese heritage, Luong is a great choice for baby, with roots stretching back to the distant past.
