ArchivesSubmitting the name Laing
We met a guy recently who was called this so it is a male name. it might be Australian as he is Australian but maybe not. It is said Lang.
Another name, which is very similar but said differently is Liang which is chinese in origin and means good or fine. It is a male name.

Laing is a Scottish surname (I think), pronounced Lang. I've not heard it as a first name but it is possible.

Laing has the same origin and Lang. It's pronounced layng and is an ancient descriptive name, being a reference to 'long or tall'.
It originated around the 8th century and by the 11th century was most commonly found in the border regions of England and Scotland and it first appeared in ancient medievil records in Northumberland.
Its most common use is not as a first name but a surname...

ok...
now first, im not sure which name u are submitting bcz in ur subject its spelt laing, and then ur message has the names Lang and Liang.
Now liang means two or both in chinese (not sure if this is cantonese or manderin, sorry)
buliang means bad or harmful, something that will make you ill
he only word that means good or fine that is similar is bulai
the only thing similar to Laing i could find meant coming year and was spelt Lianian
for lang i found it meaning either a clear and obvious, and it was also found in the words that mean a fabeled wolf, a tiger to beware of, a bridegroom, and a winding corridoor
and as for his name being austrailian... australian isnt a backround unless you are native australian, because the rest are mostly from europe,
just like technically canadian and american aren't backrounds unless you are referring to the fact your culture is so diversly mixed basically ur a mut like most of the north westren world.
anways just curious where you got all that info
