In Chinese writing it's all one name. The pronunciation is different between Cantonese (Wing Chun) and Mandarin (Yong Chun). And the different spellings are merely different forms of transliteration from Chinese into English. The original English spelling, started by Yip Man, was Wing Chun. An amusing historical note is that some practitioners were embarrassed at the initials "W.C.", which also stood for "water closet", or bathroom, in British English.
