Meaning: Phoenix; Gallop; Wade

Phung is a gender-neutral name with Vietnamese and Chinese roots that’s traditionally used as a last name. A variant of the Chinese last name Feng, it can translate to “gallop” or “wade,” encouraging baby to keep moving forward, no matter the obstacle. For some blazing encouragement, Phung can also translate to “phoenix.” A mystical bird that’s said to burst into flames during their death and rebirth from the ashes, the phoenix is a beautiful symbol to attach to baby. For a name with a strong symbol of growth and rebirth and a timeless mythical tone, Phung can make for a fierce, fiery choice.
