From Old Khmer វាង៑ (vāṅ), វាង្ង៑ (vāṅṅ), វង៑ (vaṅ, “enclosure; citadel, fort, fortress, stronghold; palace; to encircle, to enclose, to surround; to bar, to block; to screen, to shield; etc”), from Proto-Mon-Khmer *wa(a)ŋ (“enclosure”).[1] Cognate with Lao ວຽງ (wīang), Northern Thai ᩅ᩠ᨿᨦ (wiang), Lü ᦵᦞᧂ (veng), Shan ဝဵင်း (wáeng). Doublet of วง (wong) and วัง (wang).
Modern Khmer វៀង (viəng, “city, metropolis, capital”) is a reborrowing from Thai or Lao "wiang".
