Wikipedia
King Hùng (Vietnamese: Hùng Vương or vua Hùng; both Vương and vua means king) is the title given in many modern discussions of the ancient Vietnamese rulers of the Hồng Bàng period

It is likely that the name Hùng Vương is a combination of the two Sino-Vietnamese words Hùng, which means "brave" and Vương, which means "king". The name Hùng Vương might have originally been a title bestowed on a chieftain. The Hùng Vương would have been the head chieftain of Văn Lang which at the time was composed of feudal communities of rice farmers (similar to the way the Holy Roman Emperor was elected to rule by fellow German princes)


The Vietnamese government in 2007 announced that there was a new public holiday in Vietnam called the Hùng Kings' Festival at the Hùng Temple. It celebrates the Hùng kings on the 10th day of the third lunar month. However King Hùng Vương is not universally known among the younger generation
