Duong is of Vietnamese origin and means "river". It is a unisex name, although it is more commonly used for males. The name has two syllables and is pronounced as 'Zwing'. In Vietnam, Duong is often used in combination with other characters to form compound names, such as Duong Tu or Duong Minh. However, when used alone, Duong carries a strong and independent identity. It is not a very common name outside of Vietnam, making it unique and distinctive for those who bear it.
"The name Duong had a peak of popularity with 15 births in 1982 and again with 12 births each in 1989 and 1990. However, it experienced a decline by the early 2000s with only 6 births recorded in 2002."
