伍 is a Cantonese surname that can romanize as Woo.
There is more than one Woo: The surname "Woo" (우/吳/胡/禹/武) is common in East Asia, primarily Chinese and Korean, stemming from various characters with different origins, often romanized from Cantonese (like 吳 Wú or 胡 Hú) or Korean (like 禹), meaning leadership, history, or related to ancient states and figures like Yu the Great, symbolizing diligence and heritage.
This is the surname Ng in Chinese.
吳 is sometimes romanized as Ang, Eng, Ing and Ong in the United States and Ung in Australia. In Mandarin, 吳 is usually romanized as Wu, but sometimes Woo. In Vietnamese, 吳 can be the Ngô surname.
Be careful, as 黃/黄 is another surname character that also romanizes as Ng and other variants noted above.

All of our calligraphy wall scrolls are handmade.
When the calligrapher finishes creating your artwork, it is taken to my art mounting workshop in Beijing where a wall scroll is made by hand from a combination of silk, rice paper, and wood.
After we create your wall scroll, it takes at least two weeks for air mail delivery from Beijing to you.
Allow a few weeks for delivery. Rush service speeds it up by a week or two for $10!
When you select your calligraphy, you'll be taken to another page where you can choose various custom options.
The wall scroll that Sandy is holding in this picture is a "large size"
single-character wall scroll.
We also offer custom wall scrolls in small, medium, and an even-larger jumbo size.
Professional calligraphers are getting to be hard to find these days.
Instead of drawing characters by hand, the new generation in China merely type roman letters into their computer keyboards and pick the character that they want from a list that pops up.
There is some fear that true Chinese calligraphy may become a lost art in the coming years. Many art institutes in China are now promoting calligraphy programs in hopes of keeping this unique form
of art alive.
Even with the teachings of a top-ranked calligrapher in China, my calligraphy will never be good enough to sell. I will leave that to the experts.
The same calligrapher who gave me those lessons also attracted a crowd of thousands and a TV crew as he created characters over 6-feet high. He happens to be ranked as one of the top 100 calligraphers in all of China. He is also one of very few that would actually attempt such a feat.
