In the world, Hsiung (雄 , 熊 , Hsiung ) is a widespread predominantly boy's, but scarcely feminine given name. The forename Hsiung is habitual in Eastern Asia, particularly China, where it is quite a common principally masculine, but very infrequently female name, and Taiwan, where it is a rare masculine name. More prevalently, Hsiung is the last name as well as the forename.
Hsiung is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Yang Xiong , the fictional character in Water Margin and Tan Xiong , the fictional character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
