Jet Li's real name is something like Li Lian Jie. Surname being mentioned first, this would be his name is Lian Jie Li, of course as it's originally written, Americans would likely call him Lilian because thwe're daumb that way. Yang Xiao Long were it to follow the above principle, would be Xiao Long Yang. Lie Ren, well... By the way, nearly all Asians go by this principle including Chinese, Korean, and even Japanese. However, we have to know who Yang was raised by. Perhaps she was raised by people who put their surname last. So her given name could very well be Yang dependent on that factor. Or if neither sister knows their parents (maybe their sisters due to being from the same orphanage?), Yang could simply be the name she prefers to go by.
