Could someone explain the logic behind Confucius’ English naming?
Lao Zi -> Lao Tzu
Sun Zi -> Sun Tzu
Kong Zi -> Confucius
In: Other
that’s because Confucius is his Latinised name. The other two also have Latinised name: Laocius and Suncius respectively.
So why is Confucius stuck with his Latinised name? well maybe it just simply rings better to English speaker.
