What is the meaning of the name Bing ?

The baby name Bing is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced Mandarin: Bīng (first tone) [piŋ]; English: /bɪŋ/ (rhymes with 'sing').

Bing is Chinese in Origin.

Bing is a compact name with layered origins. In English, it began as a surname from northern dialect/Old Norse bingr “heap, mound,” or from Old English binn “bin, manger,” later used as a given name and sometimes a short form of Bingham. In Chinese, Bing is the pinyin for several characters - most commonly 冰 (ice, purity), 炳 (bright, illustrious), 秉 (to hold; uprightness), and 兵 (soldier) - making it unisex and meaning-dependent.

Records show Bing as a surname in medieval England; in the 20th century it saw a spike in Anglophone given-name use thanks to entertainer Bing Crosby. It remains familiar in Chinese-speaking communities and as a friendly nickname (often reduplicated as Bingbing) in the Philippines and elsewhere. Variants and related forms include Byng (surname variant), Bingham (source name), the Wade–Giles romanization Ping, and the pet form Bing-Bing.
