Binh is the ASCII rendering of the Vietnamese given name Bình, from Sino-Vietnamese bình < Chinese 平, meaning “peaceful, calm; level; fair; to pacify.” In Vietnamese it is pronounced roughly “been” with a falling tone. The name is unisex and widely used either as a first or middle name, valued for connotations of tranquility, balance, and even-handedness. Without diacritics, Binh can also coincide with a different morpheme (兵, “soldier”), but in personal names the “peace” sense is overwhelmingly intended. Attested across centuries through Vietnam’s classical Chinese literary heritage, Bình remains common in standalone form and in compound names such as An Bình, Hòa Bình, Thái Bình, and Bình An, all evoking peace or stability. Variants include the fully marked Bình (standard Vietnamese) and the diaspora spelling Binh. Cross-linguistic cognates include Mandarin Ping and Cantonese Ping; related meanings appear in Japanese compounds with Hei/Byō.
