Thang Family History
Thang Name Meaning
Vietnamese: from the Chinese surname 湯 see Tang 2 and 4 below. Burmese (Chin): from a name element originally forming part of a compound personal name meaning ‘famous’. — Note: Since Chins do not have hereditary surnames this name element was registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US. Cambodian: written ថាំង probably of Chinese or Vietnamese origin (compare 4 below and 1 above). The surname ថាំង also corresponds to the Khmer word of Chinese origin meaning ‘wooden basket’. Chinese: variant Romanization of the surnames 湯 and 唐 based on their Mandarin pronunciations see Tang 1 and Norwegian: variant of Tang 1
