Last name origins & meanings:
- Chinese:
 from a character that also means ‘to
supervise’ or ‘to manage’. The story goes that in the 23rd century
bc, an adviser to the emperor Shun was given this surname due
to his ability to supervise and train dragons. Additionally, at one
time during the Spring and Autumn period (722–481 bc), Dong
was part of the title of official historians. The descendants of a
historian of the state of Jin adopted the character for Dong from
their ancestor’s title and used it as a surname. - Vietnamese
({D-}ông and {D-}ô`ng): unexplained.
