About the name King
King is a syllable used in Chinese Malaysian names. In Hokkien, the sound spelled eng in POJ (as in kheng 卿, khèng 慶, kéng 景) is pronounced like ing, so the spelling King is also used; 卿 is also read kĭng in Foochow, and 瓊 is king4 in Cantonese. The characters 卿 and 慶 (simplified 庆) are recorded for Malaysians with this spelling. The actual meaning depends on the characters the family chose.
