	The word [https://jisho.org/search/悟悟] (''go'') means roughly to understand or to perceive, and it is used to write the verb ''satoru'' (悟る), from which the name of the Buddhist concept of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satori ''satori''] derives. [https://jisho.org/search/空空] (''kū'') can mean sky, empty, or void. It's the ''kanji'' for ''sora'', the Japanese word for sky. When read as ''kara'', it means "empty". The two characters together can imply meanings like "Perceiving the Void" or "Aware of Vacuity". In the story of ''Journey to the West'', the monkey king is given this name by a Buddhist sage who is Wùkōng's master for a time. For a family name, the sage gives him 孫 (''Son''), meaning "grandchild".
