Kange is in Origin.

Kange is a rare given name with several plausible roots. As an adaptation of the East Asian surname Kang (Chinese 康 “healthy, peaceful”; Korean 姜/康), an added -e softens the ending for use as a forename in Western contexts. Some families cite a Plains Siouan inspiration: Lakota káŋgi (“crow”), yielding the variant Kangi/Kangee and the bird’s symbolism of watchfulness and intelligence. In India, Kange appears as a regional surname, which occasionally transfers to given-name use.

Documented given-name use is modern and uncommon, emerging in late-20th-century diaspora communities and creative baby-naming trends. Variants include Kangi, Kangee, Kangé, and Kang. Possible pronunciations are KAN-gay, KAN-jee, or KAHN-gə; parents often align it with their chosen origin story. As a unisex choice, Kange can carry meanings ranging from “health/peace” (Chinese Kang) to “crow” (Lakota), or simply function as a sleek, contemporary coinage with surname style.
