What is the meaning of the name Nong ?

The baby name Nong is a girl name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /nɔ́ːŋ/.

Nong is Thai in Origin.

Nong represents Thai น้อง, romanized nong in the Royal Thai General System. The root language is Thai, Southwestern Tai, and the written form น้อง is the earliest relevant form for the modern name. Its syllable has น n, long ออ /ɔː/, final ง /ŋ/, and tone mark ไม้โท, giving /nɔ́ːŋ/. Literally, it denotes a younger sibling or someone junior to the speaker.

In Thailand, Nong is usually a kinship term, nickname, or polite second-person address rather than a formal given name; it is not inherently feminine, although women may bear it. Thai familiar names sometimes enter official records, especially in migrant contexts. English spellings omit tone and vowel length, so the name can be confused with unrelated Chinese Nóng, written 农 or 農, a surname meaning farmer. Nawng and Noong are occasional transliterations.
