Phuong is of Vietnamese origin, meaning "wind" or "fresh breeze". It is traditionally given to girls and has been gaining popularity worldwide due to its unique sound and cultural significance.
The name Phuong experienced considerable popularity from the late 70s to the early 90s, with a peak of 87 births in 1982 and an average annual total of around 40 births during this period. However, its popularity has since declined significantly, with fewer than 20 births per year occurring annually since 1995, and some years seeing only single-digit numbers of newborns named Phuong. Overall, from 1975 to 2013, there were a total of 1033 births registered with the name Phuong.
