Hang (æÂÂ) is a Chinese surname. It is romanized Hong in Cantonese romanization. According to a 2013 study, it was the 350th most common name in China; it was shared by 128,000 people, or 0.01% of the population, being most popular in Jiangsu. It is the 183rd name in the Hundred Family Surnames poem.
Hang (æÂÂ) was adopted in place of another Chinese surname, æ (Kàng, "fight against"), which can be traced back to San Kang (ä¸ÂæÂÂ, ä¸ÂæÂÂ, ä¸Âä¼Â), an official in the state of Wey during the Spring and Autumn Period. The two characters æ and æ were interchangeable in ancient Chinese. During the Northern Song period (10thâÂÂ12th centuries AD), many people with the surname æ (Kàng) changed it to æ (Hang).
