Surname
Origins
Eng may be the spelling of multiple Chinese surnames, based on their pronunciation in different varieties of Chinese; they are listed below by their spelling in Hanyu Pinyin, which reflects the standard Mandarin pronunciation:[1]
- Wú (Шаблон:Linktext), spelled Eng based on its Cantonese pronunciation (Шаблон:Zh)[2]
- Wǔ (Шаблон:Linktext), spelled Eng based on its Cantonese pronunciation (Шаблон:Zh)[3]
- Róng (Шаблон:Linktext/荣), spelled Eng based on its Hokkien pronunciation (Шаблон:Zh)[4]
- Wēng (Шаблон:Linktext), spelled Eng based on its Teochew pronunciation (Peng'im: Шаблон:Lang)[5]
- Yīng (Шаблон:Linktext), spelled Eng based on its pronunciation in various Southern Min dialects (e.g. Hokkien Шаблон:Zh; Teochew Peng'im: Шаблон:Lang)[6][7]
Ng is another spelling of the Cantonese pronunciation of the first two surnames listed above. Chinese Americans in the Pacific Northwest tended to prefer the spelling Eng over Ng.[8] The Cambodian surname Eng (Шаблон:Lang) probably originates from the latter three surnames mentioned above.
As a German surname, Eng is a variant spelling of Enge, a topographic surname for a person who lived in a valley or other such narrow place, from German Шаблон:Wikt-lang 'narrow'.[9]
The Norwegian and Swedish surname Eng originated as an ornamental surname from Old Norse Шаблон:Wikt-lang and Swedish Шаблон:Wikt-lang 'meadow'.[10]
