Bong is a surname in various cultures.
Origins
Bong may be a spelling of a number of Chinese surnames based on their pronunciation in different varieties of Chinese.[1] They are listed below by their Mandarin Pinyin spelling:
- Huáng (Шаблон:Linktext, meaning "yellow"); spelled Bong based on the Hakka pronunciation in dialects spoken in parts of Indonesia and Malaysia[2]

Bong is the Revised Romanization spelling of a Korean surname originally written using either of two hanja.[3] These surnames are also spelled Pong in most other systems of romanising Korean (e.g. McCune–Reischauer, Yale, and North Korea's system), and are both used as Chinese surnames as well, pronounced Fèng in Mandarin.
- Шаблон:Transl (Шаблон:Linktext; Шаблон:Lang; meaning "to offer" or "to serve")

However, in some dialects of Hakka spoken on Borneo, including in Singkawang, Kuching, and Serian, the initial has shifted to /b/. This is possibly due to crosslinguistic influence from the Malay language, which lacks voiced labial fricatives. Hakka as spoken in peninsular Malaysia does not exhibit this shift.
