The correct pronunciation for the name ''Huang'' is ''Hoo-ong''. People mistakenly pronounce the name ''Hoo-ang'', which is incorrect. ''Huang'' commonly translates to ''yellow'' but can be translated to anything that uses the same pronunciation. | The correct pronunciation for the name ''Huang'' is ''Hoo-ong''.

Another area of confusion is the mixed use of [[wp:Standard Mandarin|Mandarin]] and [[wp:Canton dialect|Cantonese]] spelling in his name. Huang Lee hails from Hong Kong, where the Cantonese dialect is more commonly used, but "[[wp:Huang|Huang]]" is written in a Romanized Mandarin spelling when "[[wp:Wong (surname)|Wong]]" should be used; "[[wp:Lee (surname)|Lee]]" is correctly Cantonese, while the Mandarin equivalent is "[[wp:Li (surname)|Li]]". This means Huang Lee's name may also be purely referred to as "Wong Lee" in Cantonese and "Huang Li" in Mandarin. The source of his name and his early background in Hong Kong remain largely unexplained. | |||
