About the name Yung
Yung is not a Hanyu Pinyin spelling. It matches Cantonese jung and Hakka yung, and the older Wade–Giles spelling of Mandarin yong. In all three it can stand for 勇 (brave) or 雍 (harmony), while 容 (appearance, to hold) reads jung in Cantonese and yung in Hakka. The actual meaning depends on the characters the family chose.
