History
Etymology
From various romanizations of the Mandarin pronunciation of Chinese 王 (Wáng) or 汪 (Wāng). Doublet of Wong, Heng, Ong, and Vuong. As a Korean surname, from 왕 (wang), from the above.
As a Danish surname, from Vang. As a German and Dutch surname, from wang (“cheek”) and obsolete derivatives of Proto-Germanic *wangaz (“field, meadow”). As a Jewish surname, from the German sense, and also a nickname for someone from Hungary (compare Russian Венгрия (Vengrija)). As a North Germanic surname, spelling variant of Vang.
Borrowed from Manipuri ꯋꯥꯡ (wāng).
Onomatopoeic.
Uncertain. Perhaps short for whangdoodle (“gadget, doodad”), or from whang, a dialectal form of thong (“strip of leather”). Compare wong.
