Li Bai's name has been romanized as Li Bai, Li Po, Li Bo (romanizations of [[Standard Chinese]] pronunciations), and Ri Haku (a romanization of the Japanese pronunciation).<ref>{{cite book|title=The Anchor Book of Chinese Poetry: From Ancient to Contemporary, The Full 3000-Year Tradition|author=Barnstone, Tony and Chou Ping|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=aoH11JVHs4AC |publisher=Random House|year=2010|isbn=978-0-307-48147-4|page=116}}</ref> The varying Chinese romanizations are due to the facts that his given name ([[wikt:白|白]]) has two pronunciations in [[Standard Chinese]]: the [[Literary and colloquial readings of Chinese characters|literary reading]] ''bó'' ({{Lang-zh|link=no|w=po2}}) and the colloquial reading ''bái''; and that earlier authors used [[Wade–Giles]] while modern authors prefer [[pinyin]]. The reconstructed version of how he and others during the Tang dynasty would have pronounced this is ''Bhæk''. His [[courtesy name]] was Taibai (太白), literally "Great White", as the planet [[Mount Taibai#History|Venus]] was called at the time; according to his biography in the ''[[New Book of Tang]]'', this was because Li's mother had dreamt of Venus while giving birth to him.<ref name="Paris Review"/> Li's courtesy name has been romanized variously as ''Li Taibo'', ''Li Taibai'', ''Li Tai-po'', among others. The Japanese pronunciation of his name and courtesy name may be romanized as "Ri Haku" and "Ri Taihaku" respectively.

He is also known by his art name (''[[Art name|hao]]'') ''Qīnglián Jūshì'' ({{lang|zh-Hant|青蓮[[wikt:居士|居士]]}}), meaning ''[[Householder (Buddhism)|Householder]] of Azure Lotus'', or by the nicknames "Immortal Poet" (Poet [[Xian (Taoism)|Transcendent]]; Wine Immortal ({{zh|c=酒仙|p=Jiuxiān|w=Chiu<sup>3</sup>-hsien<sup>1</sup>}}), Banished Transcendent ({{zh|t=謫仙人|p=Zhéxiānrén|w=Che<sup>2</sup>-hsien<sup>1</sup>-jen<sup>2</sup>|first=t}}), Poet-[[Chinese knight-errant|Knight-errant]] ({{zh|t=詩俠|s=诗侠|p=Shīxiá|w=Shih<sup>1</sup>-hsia<sup>2</sup>|first=t}}, or "Poet-Hero").
