Xu

Even with two letters, the masculine name Xu packs a serious punch! It's of Chinese origin and has many forms across languages, from Mandarin Hsu to Filipino Ngo. Xu has many meanings, including "slowly," "to allow," "promise," "inspect," and "brilliant rising sun." It's famously shared with the ancient state of Xu of the Bronze Age, ruled by the Ying family. Nowadays, Chinese actor and singer Timmy Xu of Addicted is the name's leading bearer. Your little one will surely rise to the challenge and forge their own brilliant legacy!
