Hai Duong is located to the east of Thang Long (Hanoi), the capital city. East is also the direction of the rising sun. Therefore, "Hai Duong" means "sunlight of the East Sea" or "light shining from the eastern coastal region".

Thuan An prefecture in Kinh Bac and Khoai Chau, Tan Hung, Kien Xuong, and Thai Binh prefectures in Son Nam were placed under Duong Kinh.
