Fragrant, virtuous, or beautiful
Fong is a romanization of several Chinese surnames and given names, most commonly derived from characters meaning fragrant or virtuous. It is often used in Cantonese-speaking communities and can also refer to a square or a direction depending on the specific character used. In a Western context, it is primarily recognized as a surname but occasionally appears as a masculine given name.
