    "Van" is an existing first name in English too isn't it? National Lampoon's Van Wilder and everything?https://twitter.com/cstross/status/1272114197032296449 …

        Yeah - and I'm not sure of the pronunciation in Vietnamese, but it might also be "Vaughn"

        Well, yeah, in Buffalo we had a legendary sportscaster, Van Miller, probably most famous for nearly losing his mind when the Bills came from far behind to beat the Oilers in their 1992 wild card playoff game.pic.twitter.com/3DeEQei5Tc

        And David Sedaris devoted two vignettes in his Santaland Diaries to a boy named Van who'd come to see Santa at Macy's.pic.twitter.com/4j9Vh2ACFX

        All the Santas have different routines. Some want the children's names. So as you're leading the youngsters from the Magic Tree, you say, "What was your name again? It's right on the tip of my mind where I can't get at it." Then they say their name. And you say, "That's right. Van. You're Van. See, I didn't recognize you with that turtleneck. That's new, isn't it?" And it's always new, because they grow so fast they are always needing larger clothes.

        I'm old so I think of Van Johnson, but I guess he wasn't born with that first name.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Johnson …

        Generally it’s part of a last name of German (I think) origin. I think it’s morphed from that.
