Feng is Chinese in Origin.

Feng is a Mandarin Pinyin romanization with several characters and meanings. Common given-name forms include Fēng (风, "wind"), Fēng (峰, "peak"), Fēng (丰, "abundance"), Fēng (枫, "maple"), and Fèng (凤, "phoenix"); each lends distinct symbolism, from freedom and vitality to lofty aspiration, prosperity, seasonal grace, and rebirth. Because Pinyin omits tones, the exact sense depends on the character chosen.

As a surname, Féng (冯) appears in the Hundred Family Surnames and in figures like philosopher Feng Youlan and general Feng Yuxiang. As a given name, 峰 was popular for boys in late 20th-century China, while 凤 evokes imperial elegance and often pairs with Lóng ("dragon"). Variants include Cantonese Fung and Foong (overseas), Vietnamese Phong (风/峰) and Phụng (凤), Korean Pung (風) and Bong (鳳/峰), and Japanese Fū (風), Hō (鳳), or Mine/Hō (峰). Unisex today, Feng works alone or in two-syllable names (e.g., Wei-Feng, Zi-Feng).
