Pronunciation

CHANGListen

Chang is a boy's name that comes from a Chinese and Korean surname, romanized into English — though the exact character behind it isn't settled, so there's no single meaning to point to. You may have come across it described as meaning "prosperous and clever," but that claim couldn't be confirmed, so it's worth treating as unconfirmed rather than fact. Said simply as CHANG (/ˈtʃæŋ/), it's short and clean, with a feel that crosses easily between cultures and languages.
