Meaning & History

Add to web page
You

Chinese 游: from a byname of a certain Prince Yan, who lived during the Spring and Autumn period (722–481 BC) in the state of Zheng, in modern-day Henan province. He had the byname Ziyou, and the second character of this name was adopted as a surname by his descendants.

Chinese 尤: altered form of the surname Shen. During the Five Dynasties period (907–960) the founder of the state of Min, in present-day Fujian province, was called Wang Shen Zhi. The character in his name for Shen, 审, was pronounced in the same way as the character for the surname Shen, 沈 (see Shen 1). This spelled danger for those named Shen, as the culture of the time regarded imitation not as as flattery, but as criminal arrogance. A solution to the problem was developed by dropping from 沈 the portion signifying water, which changed the character into 尤, pronounced You.

Korean: variant of Yu.
