More than one and a half million Americans identifying themselves as Vietnamese, according to Wikipedia, and many of families are very new to the U.S., being just first and second generation citizens. If you have Vietnamese heritage, what better way to honor it than by choosing a name with roots in that country for your baby boy? We can’t think of a greater tribute to a homeland than a name.
Two of the most popular Vietnamese names for boys include Tai (pronounced TAY), which means ‘talented one,’ and Liem (LEE-yem), which means ‘truthful’ (parents also choose the variations Llam or Leelan, both of which have the same meaning). Another option is Bay. This is a unisex name that means ‘seventh-born child.’
