Best Answer

The Nguyen dynasty was the last dynasty of Vietnam. During the early 20th century, a lot of people took the last name Nguyen so that the French won't threaten them because they cooperated with the Nguyen Dynasty.

How do you pronounce tuyethong nguyen?

The spelling's in some languages seem to side track some readers; such as the English words, "thru" and "through", "Kar" and "Car", "Stephen" and "Steven"...and reader's try to pronounce them differently; because they're spelled differently. The same holds true for Viet spellings: Cities such as Quang Tri, Cam Rahn, Pleiku, and Tay Ninh look difficult...but are pronounced (right or wrong, this is the way GI's pronounced them) as Quong Tree, Cam Ron, Play Koo, and Tay nin. A GI might pronounce Tuye Thong Nguyen, as "Toy thong Nugion." The Vietnamese name Nguyen is as common as Smith is in the US. Many Vietnamese pronounce "Nguyen" as "No-guy-on."
