Chang is a name of Chinese origin, rooted in characters such as 昌 (chāng) meaning "flourishing" or "prosperous," or 长 (cháng) meaning "long" or "lasting." It can also appear as a Korean surname. Famous bearers include the acclaimed Taiwanese actor Chang Chen, known for films like *Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon*, and the revered painter Chang Dai-chien. While no major place is directly named after a person called Chang, the character appears in Chinese city names such as Changsha. In modern Scotland, where the name appears in birth records, Chang is increasingly used as a unisex given name, reflecting the nation's growing multicultural heritage.
