Song is Chinese, English, Korean, Vietnamese in Origin.

Song is a cross‑cultural unisex name. In English it functions as a modern word name evoking music and lyricism. In Chinese it appears as both a major surname and given‑name element with multiple characters: 宋 (Sòng), the ancient state and dynasty; 松 (Sōng), “pine”; 颂/頌 (Sòng), “praise, ode”; and 嵩 (Sōng), “lofty,” as in Mount Song. In Korean, Song (송) is a common surname and given name based on hanja such as 松 (pine), 頌 (praise), or 淞 (icy river). Vietnamese usage includes the surname Tống (宋) and the given‑name element Song (雙), “double/twin.”

Meanings range from artful “song” in English to East Asian virtues of endurance (pine), celebration (praise), and elevation (lofty). Historical prominence comes via China’s Song dynasty (960–1279) and Korea’s Song clans. Variants and spellings include Sòng (with tone), Soong (older romanization), Sung (Cantonese), and Tống (Vietnamese).
