Sun Wu kong
Means monkey who is born of emptiness.
Because he's a monkey and was not born of life... but of a stone egg laid by a Boulder.. xD

Wukong is his Buddhist name, means awakening to emptiness. Good name because he wants the world, but the world is empty.

All his brothers have names that suit them. Pigsy is bajie, which mean eight precepts - do not kill, do not bang, no show off, etc. Which suits him because he likes to indulge. Sandy is wujing, awakening to purity, because he was a violent and angry dude. He's the most mature of the 3 and pretty much fully baked by the time he joins them, which is weird he ends up as an arahat rather than a full Buddha.
