Taiwanese here. Wukong, or awaken to emptiness, is a name given by his teacher of magic, a Taoist immortal. He was known differently before, as Mei Ho Wang (Beautiful/Good-looking Monkey King), and later, Chi Tian Da Sheng (Great Holy Lord that Parallels the Heavens) etc.

In mandarin, Hou Wang is "Monkey King" in Mandarin, not "Wukong." Wukong is more like a title of Taoist philosophic ideal instead of meaning the monkey king. Dragonballs merely bsaed some concepts on the novel... like the Wukong from LoL, it is a 2nd generation adaption of the novel. therefore comparison of DB Sun Goku and League of Legends's Wukong is NOT valid.
