Around the world, ถ่อง (Thong 
, ถ่อง) is a common principally boy's, but very infrequently female given name. The first name ถ่อง is characteristic of South-eastern Asia, particularly Vietnam, where it is quite a rare boy's name, Singapore, where it is quite a rare epicene name, and Philippines, where it is quite a rare male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in Vietnam, the United States, and Philippines. Likewise, ถ่อง is the last name as well as the forename.
