Meng is Chinese in Origin.
Meng is a Chinese name used as both surname and given name. Meaning varies by character: 孟 (Mèng) ‘eldest; first-born’ - a prominent surname; 梦/夢 (Mèng) ‘dream’; 萌 (Méng) ‘sprout, bud; cute’; and 蒙 (Méng) ‘cover; receive; Mongolia,’ also a surname. As a given name it is unisex; 梦 and 萌 have surged in late‑20th/21st‑century China, while 孟 conveys seniority and lineage.
The surname 孟 is famed through Mencius (孟子, 4th c. BCE) and remains common in North China. Romanized Meng in pinyin, it corresponds to Maeng (Korean), Mō (Japanese; e.g., Mōshi for Mencius), and Mạnh (Vietnamese). Cantonese forms include Maang (孟) and Mung (夢). As a given name, Meng often appears in compounds - e.g., Mengyao, Mengting - where the chosen character determines the specific meaning.
