Worldwide, Woong (Woong , 웅 ) is a rare primarily male, but scarcely feminine given name. The given name Woong is characteristic of South Korea, where it is a rare male name, Chile, where it is a very rare boy's name, and Malaysia, where it is a very rare gender-neutral name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in South Korea, the United States, and Indonesia. Very seldom, Woong is the last name as well as the forename.
Woong 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.
