Luo (surname)
Luo or Lo refers to the Mandarin romanizations of the Chinese surnames 羅 (Simplified Chinese: 罗, pinyin: Luó, Jyutping: Lo4) and 駱 (Simplified Chinese: 骆, pinyin: Luò, Jyutping: Lok3). Of the two surnames, 羅 is much more common among Chinese people.
In Cantonese, 羅 is usually romanized as Law or Lo, and sometimes Loh, or Lowe, and 駱 is usually romanized as Lok or Loc, though the more Western-appearing romanization Locke can sometimes be found.
In Teochew, 罗/羅 is most commonly transliterated as Lor or Law while 骆/駱 is written as Lok.
In Korea, 羅 is transcribed as either 라 (Ra) or 나 (Na).
In Japan, the name 駱 is pronounced as かわらげ Kawarage.
In Vietnam, the name 羅 is pronounced La and 駱 is pronounced Lạc.
