  The name "Confucius" is a Latinized form of the Mandarin Chinese Kǒng Fūzǐ (孔夫子, "Master Kong"), and was coined in the late 16th century by early Jesuit missionaries to China. Confucius's family name was Kong (孔, OC: * kʰˤoŋʔ) and his given name was Qiu (丘, OC: * ʷʰə). His courtesy name, a capping (guan: 冠) given at his coming of age ceremony, and by which he would have been known to all but his older family members, was Zhongni (仲尼, OC: * N-truŋ-s nr), the "Zhòng" indicating that he was the second son in his family.
