In this Chinese name, the family name is Ip/Yip.

Ip Man[a] (born Ip Kai-man;[b] 1 October 1893 – 2 December 1972), also known as Yip Man,[2] was a Chinese martial arts grandmaster. He became a teacher of the martial art of Wing Chun when he was 20.

Ip Man was born as Ip Kai-man (葉繼問) to Ip Oi-dor (葉靄多) and Ng Shui (吳瑞) as the third of four children. He grew up in a wealthy family in Foshan (Fatshan), Guangdong (Kwangtung), and received traditional Chinese education, alongside his elder brother Ip Kai-gak (葉繼格), elder sister Ip Wan-mei (葉允媚), and younger sister Ip Wan-hum (葉允堪).[3]
