What is the meaning of the name Chang ?

The baby name Chang is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced Mandarin examples: Cháng [tʂǎŋ] (常) or Zhāng [tʂāŋ] (張); English approximation: 'CHAHNG' /tʃɑːŋ/; Korean romanization: Jang [tɕaŋ]..

Chang is Chinese in Origin.

Chang is a Sinophone name used as both a family name and a given‑name element. In Mandarin it can represent several characters, chiefly 常 cháng (“constant, habitual”), 昌 chāng (“prosperous, flourishing”), and 長/长 cháng (“long; lasting”) or zhǎng (“to grow; elder”). Because the romanization obscures the character, the exact meaning depends on which graph is intended, but it generally evokes steadiness, growth, or prosperity.

As a surname, Chang has been borne for millennia in China; in the 20th century it frequently romanized 張 via Wade–Giles, especially in Taiwan and the diaspora, while modern Pinyin writes that surname Zhang. The spelling Chang also renders the surnames 常 and 昌 in both Wade–Giles and Pinyin. Regional variants include Cheung (Cantonese, 張) and Sheung (常), Jang/Chang (Korean 장), and the Sino‑Vietnamese forms Thường (常), Trường (長), and Xương (昌). As a given name, Chang is unisex in Chinese but tends to be read as masculine in Western usage.
