In response to "TIL (but not surprised) 39% of Vietnamese have the surname Nguyen - including my most recent bookstore volunteer. -- nm" by Meg

They were under chinese rule at the time last names were required, local govenor couldn't get villagers in so he just assigned them his prince's name

which was Wang, or Huang but Nguyen is the viet version

I wonder if Ng and tran and pham is the same
