Du (Chinese: 杜; pinyin: Dù; Wade–Giles: Tu4) is a Chinese surname. The name is spelled Tu in Taiwan. In Hong Kong it is spelled as To and in Macao as Tou, based on the pronunciation of 杜 in Cantonese. In Singapore and Malaysia, it is spelled as Toh, based on the pronunciation of 杜 in Hokkien. The Vietnamese equivalent of the surname is Đỗ. However, when diacritics are dropped, it can also be from the Vietnamese surnames Dư 余 or Dũ 俞 (for both, the Chinese equivalent is Yu). It is the 129th surname in Hundred Family Surnames and is the 42nd most common surname in Mainland China as of 2020.[1]
