Cho-liang is Chinese in Origin.

Cho-liang is a Mandarin Chinese given name, usually masculine, formed from two characters frequently rendered as 昭亮: 昭 (zhāo) “illustrious; manifest” and 亮 (liàng) “bright; clear.” Together they convey “brilliantly radiant” or “renowned for clarity.” The hyphen reflects older two-syllable given-name styling common in Taiwan and the Chinese diaspora.

The spelling Cho-liang follows family or Taiwan-era conventions akin to Wade-Giles; in standard Hanyu Pinyin it appears as Zhao-liang or Zhaoliang. Cantonese equivalents include Chiu-leung or Chiu Leung (昭亮). These characters are favored in male names for auspicious ties to virtue, fame, and intelligence, with steady 20th-century use. The compound is not ubiquitous but is recognized through violinist Cho-Liang Lin. Related variants keep the same morphemes with different separators (Cho Liang, ChoLiang) or swap near-synonyms such as Ming-liang (明亮 “bright, luminous”).
