Ngawang

Ngawang is a Tibetan name, commonly given to males. It translates roughly to "powerful speech" or "command of speech." It is often associated with individuals who are articulate, eloquent, and possess a strong ability to communicate.

The name is often given with the hope that the child will develop excellent communication skills and the ability to influence others through their words. In Tibetan Buddhist contexts, "speech" can also refer to the enlightened speech or teachings of the Buddha. Therefore, the name can also carry a connotation of wisdom and spiritual guidance.

The name is relatively common in Tibet and among Tibetan communities in exile. It is often chosen by parents seeking a name with positive connotations related to communication and influence.
