Lang (Chinese surname)

January 01, 1970

Láng is a surname of Manchu-Chinese origin (Chinese: 郎; pinyin: Láng). It is an ancient term to refer to one’s lover or son.[1] According to a 2013 study, it is the 242nd most common surname, with around 370,000 or 0.028% of the total population having the name, and Hebei being the province with the most people sharing the name.[2] It is the 48th name on the Hundred Family Surnames poem.

Origins edit

  • Lang (郎) was the name of a city where Fei Bo (費伯), the grandson of Duke Yi of Lu lived. Some of his descendants later changed their original surname Fei to Lang (郎).[1]
  • the surname is also borne by some families from the state of the South Huns.[1]

Additionally, during the Qing dynasty China, the Niohuru family of Manchu origin sinicized and changed their family name to Lang (郎), which sounded like "wolf" (狼, also Láng) in Mandarin Chinese, since "wolf" in the Manchu language was niohuru.[3]

(The Niohuru, whose name was derived from niohe, Manchu for wolf," had chosen Lang as their surname because it was a homophone for the Chinese word for "wolf.")
