Best Answer

The Tao Te Ching is also known as Lao Tzu, the name of its author.

Since the English versions of the Tao Te Ching are translations of the original Chinese text in Chinese, they are not totally the same. While the title is most commonly translated as Tao Te Ching, it is also known as Tao Teh Ching, Tao Te King and Daodejing. Lao Tzu, on the other hand, is also translated as Laozi or Lao Tze.
