"Confucius" is the Latin rendering of his Chinese name, Kong Fu-Zi, which is sometimes also spelled as Kung Fu-Zi, K'ung-fu-tze, or in other variations. The name is unrelated to the martial art known as kung fu.

Why was Confucius called Confucius?

"Confucius" is a Latinized version of Confucius' honorific title, Kong Fuzi, which literally means "Teacher Kong," or "Empty teacher." ("Kong" is a surname, while ''Fuzi" means "Teacher" or "Pedant.") This is usually interpreted as "Master Kong," since Confucius' personal name was å­�, "Kong." Sixteenth-Century Jesuit missionaries to China (thought specifically to have been Matteo Ricci), upon encountering Master Kong, coined his name that is now widely accepted by the Western world, Confucius.
