Diem would often claim that he had descended from a blue-blooded family of mandarins who were so revered that people believed that it was a great honour and good luck to be buried alongside his ancestors.

His father Ngô Ðình Kh? scrapped plans to become a Catholic priest and became a mandarin and counselor to Emperor Thành Thái during the French colonisation. He rose to become the minister of the rites and chamberlain, and keeper of the eunuchs. Kh? had six sons and three daughters by his second wife, whom he married after his first died childless. Devoutly Catholic, Kh? took his entire family to mass every morning. The third of six sons, Diem was christened Jean-Baptiste in the cathedral in Hu?
