Did you know?

Depending on the specific diacritics used, the sounds can shift from 'wild' to 'imperial'. A person named Hoàng is actually using a different character meaning 'emperor' or 'gold'.
In its original Sino-Vietnamese form, hoang refers to 'wasteland' or 'uncultivated' lands. While it is a common name, the literal root describes a sense of wild, untamed nature.
Because hoang is a Sino-Vietnamese word, it shares a deep historical root with characters used in Chinese, Japanese and Korean, though the pronunciation has evolved separately.
