Hello. Would you please tell me what the underlined part means in the context below?
I'm wondering if "Pong" has any meaning related to a protector.
Pong blushed as he bowed to her. "My name is Pong."
Ampai nodded and popped a segment of tangerine in her mouth, offering one to Somkit, too.
"Pong. That's the name for a protector. You protect my little brother here?"
Pong looked at Somkit, who beamed every time Ampai called him "little brother." "So far he's the one who's been protecting me," Pong answered.
