Ung (surname)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ung is a surname.
Ung is a Latin-alphabet spelling of two Cambodian surnames, given below in Geographic Department romanization:
- Oeng (Khmer: អ៊ឹង; Khmer pronunciation: [ʔɨŋ]), which can be found among Chinese Cambodians as a Khmer-alphabet transcription of the Amoy Hokkien pronunciation of the Chinese surname Huáng (Chinese: 黃).[1][2]
- Ung (Khmer: អ៊ុង; Khmer pronunciation: [ʔuŋ])
It is the Sino-Korean reading of the Chinese surname Xióng, though that surname is not found modern South Korea.[3] It is also a Scandinavian surname literally meaning "young".
