Being the first secondary school founded by the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, the oldest and largest charitable organizations in Hong Kong, the school was initially named Tung Wah Hospital Number One College upon the school's establishment on 8 September 1961. It was then bestowed the current name after Wong Fut-nam, a local entrepreneur and philanthropist, donated HK$500,000 in the autumn of 1971.
