This is a topic that comes up on occasion in the engineering circles in Singapore.

My guess, is that he'd rather be known for his engineering merit.

The guy manages to really make that a side note. He is a really talented coder and engineer.

Interesting indeed.

Question: why would he not share the same family name?

Completely ignorant here, is there no connection between childrens' names and that of their parents?

Lee and Li are probably the same word, transliterated to English characters differently.

Yes, specifically, 李, which, at least if you count Korean variants "Ri/Rhee" and "I" and Cantonese "Lei," is the world's most common surname.

I've been following his work for quite a while and never knew that!

Interesting. Very talented family.
