Hing (surname)


Hing is an English surname, recorded in London from the 17th century.
It is probably from the name of a 'lost' settlement in England, although it has been suggested that it means hingemaker. This is unlikely, as hinges were usually made by blacksmiths.
It is also the romanisation, from Cantonese pronunciation, of the Chinese surname pronounced Qīng in Mandarin. The surname is found mostly in southern China. People with this surname include:
