Meaning & origin
Xiong is a rare given name in the United States, first recorded in 1980. It has never appeared in the top 1000 names, with its peak usage occurring in 1990. The name is predominantly used for boys and has remained stable in its extremely low frequency. Its origin as a Chinese surname lends it a distinct cultural background, but as a first name it remains uncommon. Xiong has not been associated with any particular states or regions in U.S. data, indicating its sporadic use across the country.
Xiong is a Chinese surname (熊) that literally means 'bear'. However, as a given name, it is rare in English-speaking contexts and its use may be influenced by the surname or by phonetic appeal. The name has no long-standing tradition as a first name outside of Chinese communities, and its modern adoption is sporadic.
