Chu Last Name History & Origin

Add

History

The Chinese name Zhu is an honorable name meaning Vermillion Red. The symbol is two horizonal lines, the top one starting with an apostrophe, with a Man symbol cutting through both to below the lines, with the right foot marked heavily like a check. It is likely the second most common Chinese surname. When the Colonel Montchen Thomas Tchou travelled he chose the French spelling in order to evoke the correct sounds; otherwise the name would have sounded like shoe. Raymond Dempster Chu changed the spelling to Chu when he came to the USA in 1949 approximately to Ohio.
