Zhang (Traditional Chinese: 張, Simplified Chinese: 张, pinyin: Zhāng, Wade-Giles: Chang, Yale: Jeung, Jyutping: Zoeng1, Hong Kong Government: Cheung) is among the most common Chinese surnames. There are currently well over 100 million people worldwide with this surname. The use of this surname dates back to about 4,700 years ago.
This surname is often mispronounced by American English speakers as IPA [HTTP ]; its actual pronunciation (IPA [HTTP ]), is pronounced somewhat like "jaang".
The corresponding Korean surname is 장; and the corresponding Vietnamese version is "Trương". The Vietnamese can clearly distinguish the 張 from Chương, which is their equivalent to the character 章. The surnames ਎&#-3552;and ਔ&#-1952;is also written as 장 in Korean, which are frequently transliterated as Jang or Chang, but the two characters are not pronounced as Zhang in Mandarin Chinese.
Note: 章 is a less common surname which also has the pronunciation of Zhāng.
