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]

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]
