Peng is Chinese in Origin.
Peng is a Chinese name with multiple characters and roles. As a surname it most often represents 彭 (Mandarin Péng), while as a given name it is commonly written as 鹏/鵬, the mythic “roc” from the classic Zhuangzi, symbolizing vast ambition and soaring success. Other given-name options include 朋 (“friend”), 芃 (“luxuriant growth”), and 澎 (“surging”), each shaping meaning through the chosen character.
The surname 彭 traces to the ancient state of Peng and to the culture hero Peng Zu, and it remains widespread in mainland China and the Chinese diaspora. Use as a given name, especially with 鹏, grew in the 20th century and often appears in compounds such as Pengfei (鹏飞) or Pengcheng (鹏程). Romanization variants include P’eng (Wade–Giles) and Pang/Phang/Png in Cantonese, Hokkien–Teochew, and Hakka; cognate surname forms appear as Paeng (Korean) and Bành (Vietnamese). Typically masculine when written 鹏.
