How to Pronounce Khing
Pronounced KING /ΛkΙͺΕ/Low
Meaning: Khing is a modern name whose origin is not clearly documented. It is most plausibly a stylized respelling of the English word King, in the fashion of virtue and status names; alternatively the spelling could reflect a Southeast Asian element, as Khing resembles words in some Thai and Filipino contexts. The honest reading is uncertain, so no single meaning is asserted.Low

History & Origin
Khing is a recent name without a securely recorded origin. Spoken it is simply King, and it most likely belongs with the modern American fashion for status and virtue names. The unusual Kh- spelling, however, leaves open a Southeast Asian reading, so the careful conclusion is that Khing's source is genuinely uncertain.
Khing appeared only recently and stayed rare, given to only about fourteen boys a year even at its peak in the mid-twenty-tens and just over a hundred across a short run. A boy named Khing is still a child today.
