Yo, Ye!

Kanye West wants to be known simply as Ye.

West, 44, has applied to change his legal name from Kanye Omari West to Ye — according to documents obtained by PEOPLE.

In the documents, West, 44, says his decision for the change is for "personal reasons" — and provides no further explanation.

In order for the change to occur, a judge in California would need to sign off on the petition.

Ye means "leaf" in modern Chinese, but the name arose as a lineage name referring to the city of Ye (in modern Ye County, Henan) in the State of Chu during the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China.
