"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.
That is the correct spelling of the proper name Confucius (Chinese philosopher, 551-479 BC).
