Wong (王/汪/黄)

 

Wong is the Jyutping (Cantonese) and Hong Kong romanization of the surnames Wang (Chinese: 王), Huang and Vong (simplified Chinese: 黄), two ubiquitous Chinese surnames; Wang (Chinese: 汪), another common Chinese surname. Note that, while 汪 could be distinguished by its tone, 黃 (Wong/Huang) and 王 (Wong/Wang) are homophones in Cantonese. To differentiate the two in conversation, 黃 (Wong/Huang) is customarily referred to by native Cantonese speakers as 黃河的黃 (Yellow River Wong) whereas the 王 (Wong/Wang) is referred as the "three-stroke Wong" (due to its prominent 3 horizontal strokes).

There is many origins of the surname "Wong" but however, the main four source to creating this surname is from "姬", "子", "妫" and also name changes of ethnic groups. During the Zhou (周) dynasty, the royal family's surname was "姬". However, due to some people getting stripped of their knighthood and power, they changed their surname to "Wong" because of the fact that they came from royal families.

 

王姓的来源有多个,但构成现代汉族王姓的主要来源有四个:姬姓、子姓、妫姓和少数民族改姓。最多的王姓来源于周朝的王族,周朝的王族本姓姬,但从这个家族(以及周的分封国中姬姓的王族中)中不断有一些人由于失势或亡国而分离出来,因为他们过去是属于王家的因此以王为姓。这一支王姓以“王子乔”为始祖。
