isn't dang a rare last name? i've only meet a few..... my friend's last name is luu. i thought that was odd.

just a question: what does Lam and Pham mean?

is"dao" a vietnamese last name? she says shes also chinese.

Đào, Lương, Dương, Đường, Thái, Mạc, Hoàng (chinese mixed ?)...
minority ethnics should be considered ..

Vi

my last name is duong.

^Đường or Dương? (2 different surnames)

Vưu surname above is a MinNan surname.. (isn't it?)

Hà, Cao, Đặng are rare?

I think Đào桃 is very rare..

Lâm forest
Phạm a kind of grass I suppose..

I don't have rare last name, but my schoolmate does. Her last name is "Tô". Her parents are 100% Vietnamese.

Tô 蘇。
What is "Vi" (never heard of it)? The marks/diacritics/"accents" on it?

Vi and Vĩ are the first names. I never heard the last name "Vi" either.

Dao last name is quite common in Northern Vietnam

are you sure Ly is a common vietnamese surname, i always thought it was chinese, most viets i've met with that name were usually haft chinese.

My Surname is Ta does anyone have any info they could give me (much appreciated), I have never met another person with my surname. Anyone out there with the same surname?

My cousin's uncle has the last name Lov.

Tô : Oh yes, a rare but old vietnamese name



"Đồng Đăng có phố Kỳ Lừa,
Co' nàng Tô Thị, có chùa Tam Thanh..."

some other : Mai, Tống, Tố...

Tạ is rare, there is a street called Tạ Thu Thâu in Sài Gòn .

Lý is also a vietnamese name: The Lý Dynasty was a period of cultural blossom, you can find more about Ly' in every vietnamese History book.

Vi is probably chinese , the only Vi I know is a character in the famous chinese heroic fantasy: "Cô gái Đồ Long".

Duong for me.

Mine is rare. It's Khổng - 孔

I'm a Luong. Eh. I haven't heard that one on here yet. I know lots of people with Duong. Hah. Guess cause they are all related. To is new to me. Ha, is chinese, I think.

^ thats the same as Long ...but i do have a vietnamese friend with Luong as well she claims to be full viet but maybe a few generations before was chinese? highly possible yes?

I don't know it's my grandpa's last name. He is full Chinese. It's actually Leung but when he went to Vietnam they 'translated' it to Luong. I don't know why.

i am a Pham

where is all the pham at????

The last names Au and Lac are probably two of the most rarest last names. I once met a teacher with the last name "Au" and she proudly proclaims that she is the most authentic Vietnamese because of her last name.

Hey bluelakedragon are your friends with the surname Ta full vietnamese?

I'm guessing it would be something like 河上婉容 or maybe 河尙婉容

Phò ? ?? 2 2

Nguyen, Tran, Le, most of you guys with these last names are not original. When these family names rise to become leader people tend to change thier name to the ruling family. Nguyen was the last dynasty that why there are so many Nguyens.

Nguyen Van Long

My last name is Thai (Thái)

I'm not sure but I know he does not speak any other languages beside Vietnamese and English. His full name is Vie^.t Ta.

are your middle and first names "Mai Shoe"?

We have many Nguyen because in the 13th century, a lot of the Ly were forced to change their last names to Nguyen.

lol
my name is vu mai ho
american called me u my ho

Mines rare I don't think you'll find much poeple with the last name Quach

but "thai mai shoe" is better than "thai mai ho"

that thai my shoe song in stuck in my head now lol..

My mom's maiden name is Diep

Maiden name ???? Did she marry a white guy or what ?

Excuse me but in the Vietnamese culture, the woman usually hold on to her birth name even after she gets married.

^ It really doesnt matter though. My mom kept her last name, Pham.

I knew someone whose last name was Ta, he was a junkie though.. I hope you're not related to him....

Mine is Lei
