All around the world, Chiang (江 , 章
, 姜
, among others...) is a widespread predominantly boy's, but scarcely feminine first name. The given name Chiang is characteristic of Eastern Asia, particularly China, where it is quite a common primarily masculine, but very infrequently feminine name, Taiwan, where it is quite a rare gender-neutral name, and Hong Kong. In absolute terms, the name is most common in China, Taiwan, and Indonesia. More prevalently, Chiang is the last name as well as the forename.
