Chiu

Chiu is a romanization of various Chinese surnames, based on different varieties of Chinese. It may correspond to the surnames spelled in the following ways in Mandarin pinyin:

  • Zhào (趙) or Zhāo (招), from the Cantonese pronunciation
  • Zhāng (張, 章), from the Hokkien pronunciation; more commonly spelled Teoh or Teo
  • Zhōu (周), from the Hokkien pronunciation
  • Qiū (丘, 秋, 邱) or Qiú (裘, 仇), from a variant of the Mandarin Wade–Giles spelling Ch'iu
  • Jiù (就), from the Mandarin Wade–Giles spelling
