Surname

The term “hoisin” is a transcription of the Cantonese pronunciation of the Chinese expression 海鮮  /  海鲜 , hǎixiān , Jyutping hoi 2 sin 1 , which literally means “ seafood ”, although they are not part of the sauce. There are speculations that the name goes back to the former use of seafood.

In Vietnamese cuisine , the hoisin sauce is also known as tương đen , literally for "black sauce".
