Tôn Thất
Tôn Thất (Ton That or Ton-That, often simplified to Tonthat in English-language text) is a two-character Vietnamese compound surname, originating from the Nguyễn dynasty. The word Tôn Thất (尊室) derives from a Sino-Vietnamese word, Tông Thất (宗室), which means "clan members".
Tôn Thất (Tôn Nữ for females): Surname for members of the Nguyễn imperial family that were not direct first born descendants of the Emperor, and therefore collateral relatives of the Nguyen dynasty.
