Shu, pronounced 'shoo', is of Chinese origin and means 'tree' or 'to grow'. It's a unisex name, but it's more commonly used for males in China. Shu is the seventh character in the Chinese alphabet and is associated with the element wood. In some cultures, Shu is also seen as a symbol of longevity, strength, and vitality due to its association with trees.
"Shu experienced a steady increase in newborns from 1992 to 2023, with the highest recorded year being 2011, and the lowest occurring twice in 1994. Over this period, the total number of Shu births was 67."
