zhū

Zhu (朱) is a very common Chinese surname meaning "vermilion" or "red," famously associated with the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and derived from an ancient state in Shandong.

朱 is the most prominent of several Chinese surnames sharing the same Pinyin romanization (like 祝, meaning "pray" or "wizard," 竺, linked to India/Buddhism, and 竹 meaning "bamboo,") and is also spelled Chu (in Cantonese/Taiwan) or Choo (in Singapore/Malaysia).

The imperial family name during the Ming Dynasty was Zhu (朱).
