I'm not sure if "Kang" means the same thing in Vietnamese and whether or not it is Vietnamese surname. : : It's very hard to determine origin of name based on the English transliteration. I've put what the origin based on what I've seen from friends etc. Not guaranteed to be accurate. : : : Cho Korean : : : Lee English, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese : : : Damasuren Thai, Indonesian or similar language : : : Ovipaarator " : : : Barashan " : : : Dee Chinese : : : Cheng Chinese : : : Liu Chinese : : : Fang Chinese : : : Kang Looks like Chinese/Vietnamese but am unfamiliar w/this as a surname : : : Qing Chinese : : : Lao Looks like Chinese, but am unfamiliar w/this : : : Fung Chinese : : Note: In Thailand and Indonesia, Chinese are not allowed to keep their surnames.
