Fengyang is Chinese in Origin.

Fengyang is a Mandarin Chinese two-syllable given name, written with various hanzi and romanized in Pinyin as Fèngyáng or Fēngyáng. The form 凤阳/鳳陽 is best known as a county in Anhui - birthplace of the Ming Hongwu Emperor - and in the folk song “Fengyang Flower-Drum.” As a personal name it is uncommon and modern-leaning, used across mainland China and the diaspora, and perceived as unisex.

Meaning depends on characters: 凤阳/鳳陽 means “phoenix” + “sunny/yang side,” evoking renewal, nobility, and bright fortune; alternatives include 风扬/風揚 (“wind uplifted,” freedom and momentum), 丰阳/豐陽 (“abundant sunshine,” prosperity and vigor), or 峰阳 (“sunlit peak”). Variants and spellings include Feng-yang, Feng Yang (spaced), tone-marked Fèngyáng/Fēngyáng, and Cantonese Fung-yeung/Fung Yeung. Note that Feng Yang can also be parsed as surname Feng plus given name Yang.
