The surname Yungen has many origins. It could be of Swedish Youngren, English Younger, German Junker, Junger, (Dutch) Jonker, and Yunger (Americanized spelling of German Junger).
Youngren - 1. Americanized form of Swedish Unggren, an ornamental name composed of the elements ung 'young' + gren 'branch'.
2. Americanized form of Swedish Ljunggren, an ornamental name composed of the elements ljung 'heather' + gren'branch'.
Younger - 1. English (mainly Borders): from Middle English yonger 'younger', hence a distinguishing name for, for example, the younger of two bearers of the same personal name. In one case, at least, however, the name is known to have been borne by an immigrant Fleming, and was probably an Americanized form of Middle Dutch jongheer 'young nobleman' (see Jonker).
2. Americanized spelling of various cognate or like-sounding names in other languages, notably German Junger and Junker, or Dutch Jonker.
Junker - German: from Middle High German junc herre 'young nobleman' (literally 'young master'). In the Middle Ages the term denoted a member of the nobility who had not yet assumed knighthood.
Junger - German (Jünger): 1. distinguishing name, from Middle High German jünger 'younger', for the younger of two bearers of the same personal name, usually a son who bore the same name as his father. It is also found in eastern Slovenia.
2. German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): descriptive nickname from Middle High German junger, German Junger 'young man'.
Jonker - Dutch and North German: from Middle Dutch jonghheer 'young nobleman' (a compound of jong(h)'young' + herr 'master', 'lord'). The term was used of a member of the nobility who had not yet assumed knighthood.
If you're talking about the first name Yungen, then probably it is Chinese.
