During the Nguyễn Dynasty of emperor Minh Mạng, it was given the Sino-Vietnamese name Nguyệt Giang (), a calque of "Sông Trăng" (Moon River). The name Sóc Trăng comes from the Khmer name of the area ស្រុកឃ្លាំង , which means Land of depositories or Place to store silver. The Vietnamese transliteration gave Sốc Kha Lang and later Sóc Trăng. ==Geography==
