Are these names Hmong? There are many Hmongs in Georgia. I’m not being a racist, despite what President Bush may think of me, just curious if anyone knows.

Not showing up in the list from the link above:

The most common translation of Hmong clan names to facilitate American pronounciation is the following:

Chang (Tsaab); Chue (Tswb); Cheng (Tsheej); Fang (Faj); Her (Hawj); Hang (Taag/Haam); Khang (Khaab): Kong (Koo): Kue (Kwm); Lee (Lis); Lor (Lauj): Moua (Muas/Zag); Pha (Phab): Thao (Thoj): Vang (Vaaj/Vaj): Vue (Vwj); Xiong (Xyooj): and Yang (Yaaj).
