Siu is of Chinese origin and means 'water'. It is often used as a given name, particularly among Cantonese communities around the world. Pronounced like 'sue', it consists of just two letters in its simplest romanization form. This name carries cultural significance due to its association with one of the five elements in traditional Chinese philosophy. It may also be associated with the water deity Shui Mu, revered for bringing prosperity and abundance. In some cultures, Siu is considered a unisex name, while others use it predominantly for males. Its simplicity makes it easy to remember and pronounce across languages.
