Meaning & origin
Quoc is a Vietnamese name rooted in the Sino-Vietnamese element for 'country' or 'nation'. Its usage in the United States has been modest, with the name first appearing in Social Security records in 1975. Interest peaked in 1982, and since then it has followed a stable trajectory, with very few annual births. The name reflects patriotic sentiment, a common theme in Vietnamese naming. While never ranking among the top 1,000 names nationwide, it maintains a quiet presence, particularly within Vietnamese American communities.
Quốc is a Sino-Vietnamese word derived from Chinese 國 (guó), meaning 'country, nation, or homeland'. It is commonly used as a given name in Vietnam, often as a single-element name or in combination with other elements to form compounds like Quốc Huy (national emblem) or Quốc Anh (national hero). The name reflects patriotic and civic values prevalent in Vietnamese naming traditions.
