Gwong

Gwong is a romanization used in certain Chinese language communities to render personal names in the Latin alphabet. It is most often encountered as a surname among Cantonese-speaking and diaspora populations and may appear alongside other spellings such as Kwong. The choice of Gwong reflects particular romanization conventions or family preferences rather than a single standardized form.

The meaning behind Gwong depends on the Chinese character or characters intended. Common possibilities among Chinese surnames or given names include characters such as 光 (guāng, light) or 廣 (guǎng, broad), among others. Because romanization varies by dialect and region, Gwong can represent different names in different families, yielding different meanings.

There are no widely recognized places or institutions officially named Gwong. In most cases, Gwong functions as a personal name rather than a geographic or organizational term. See also Kwong (surname) and Guang (disambiguation) for related spellings and etymologies.
