Family name[edit]

The Shu family has been westernized for long enough that it has forgotten the origin of its family name. There are two possible transliterations of the family name: "Shu" or "Xu". The difference in pronunciation between the two is somewhat subtle, and pronunciation may have shifted over the generations from the original Chinese name. David Shu has always used the glyph 蜀, meaning "Sichuan Province", but his father has taken to using 魆, meaning "Beguile" or "Enchant". There are other possible origins for the name:
