'King' in Chinese is Wong or Wang depending on how you are transliterating it. Although there are fixed systems for transliteration, most Chinese immigrants didn't know the systems and ended up writing whichever sounded right to them: Wong, Wang. This is also why you have Changs and Chengs, Chans and Chens. You know Chinese too, Propp?
