Yao
In case you were wondering why Yao Ming's jersey reads "Yao".
9. In some (maybe all) Asian countries, the family name is written first and the individual name written second (opposite of the America method). That’s why Asian athletes like Yao Ming and Ichiro Suzuki have Yao and Ichiro written on their jerseys. Those are their family names and in America their names are written Ming Yao and Suzuki Ichiro.
