| @Hooby: Does Confucius not strike you as an oddly Latin-sounding name? Seems to me he probably had a Chinese name, seeing as how he was Chinese. Mikolaj Kopernik, the Polish astronomer, became Nicholas Copernicus. Andreas van Wesel, the Belgian anatomist, became Vesalius. Kung Fu Tzu was Latinized to Confucius. Say it out loud and you should hear the similarity. |
