I thought he was a Chinese guy until I read an article about him. I'm sure a lot of people thought similarly, that it was one syllable "dang!" rather than Dan-G.

"Dang" is still a common word in English though. It sounds like the article implies it's a common name or something, but Asia is a pretty big place

Dang is a common euphemism for the swear word damn, https://mashable.com/article/origin-of-swear-words - the euphemism "dang" was first used around 1780.
I believe it is also regional and somewhat archaic in use now unless you are real religious and probably also rural.
