In Vietnamese history, many events contributed to the name's prominence. In 1232, after usurping the Ly Dynasty, Tran Thu Do forced the descendants of the Ly to change their surname to Nguyen. When Ho Quy Ly overturned the Tran Dynasty, he killed many of their descendants so when the Ho Dynasty collapsed in 1407, many of his descendants changed their surname to Nguyen in fear of retribution. In 1592, on the collapse of the Mac Dynasty, their descendants changed their surname to Nguyen and Leu. When the Nguyen Dynasty (the descendants of the Nguyen Lords) took power in 1802, some of the descendants of the Trinh Lords fearing retribution changed their surname to Nguyen, while others fled north into China. The Nguyen Dynasty awarded many people the surname Nguyen during their rule, and many criminals also changed their surname to Nguyen to avoid prosecution. As with all other common surnames, most people having this surname are not necessarily related
