About the name Dung

Dung is a Vietnamese name whose meaning depends on the tone mark. Written Dũng, it is a masculine name from Sino-Vietnamese 勇 ‘brave, courageous’. Without a tone mark, Dung is generally a feminine name, from 容 ‘appearance, countenance’ or from 蓉, the character in phù dung, the cotton rose hibiscus. Like most Vietnamese given names, it comes last in the full name, after the family name and middle name, as in Nguyễn Thị Dung or Trần Văn Dũng.
