This is a Vietnamese name; the family name is Ngô, but is often simplified as Ngo in English-language text. According to Vietnamese custom, this person properly should be referred to by the given name Khôi.

Ngô Ðình Khôi was a brother of South Vietnam’s first President, Ngô Đình Diệm, and of Archbishop Ngô Đình Thục. He served as a governor in the French administration of Việtnam during the French Indochina years. He was killed by the Communists for refusal to join the Việt Minh as a minister in the Democractic Republic of Việt Nam.
