To avoid the undesirable homograph en dung, some Overseas Vietnamese individuals prefer to instead style their given name as en Dzung or en Yung, emphasizing the northern Vietnamese or southern Vietnamese pronunciation, respectively.
German
Etymology
From de gmh tunc, gmh tunge, from de goh tung, goh tunga, from de gmw-pro *dungu, from de gem-pro *dungō, from de ine-pro *dʰengʰ- to cover.
The word also meant in High German—and it seems exclusively in Low German (compare osx dung)—a dwelling or storage room (originally under the earth and covered with dung), from gmw-pro *dung cellar cellar; also compare gem-pro *dungijǭ dung-hill, dung-heap; bower. The modern consonantism is of regional origin (see de düngen). Cognate to en dung.
