Huang is Chinese in Origin.

Huang (Mandarin pinyin Huáng; 黄/黃) is a major Chinese name, chiefly a surname meaning “yellow.” It ranks among China’s most common surnames and traces to the Zhou‑era State of Huang; tradition also links it to the Yellow Emperor, adding auspicious overtones. It appears in the classic Hundred Family Surnames and today counts tens of millions of bearers across China and the global Chinese diaspora.

As a given name or element, Huáng can use characters such as 煌 “brilliant,” 皇 “august,” 璜 “jade pendant,” 篁 “bamboo grove,” or 潢 “broad waters,” so meanings vary. Usage is unisex, often masculine in tone. Variants include Wong (Cantonese), Hwang/Whang (Korean), Hoàng/Huỳnh (Vietnamese), and Wee, Oei/Ooi (Hokkien–Teochew); rare Japanese readings are Kō/Ō.
