Fu-Shan is Chinese in Origin.

Fu-Shan is a Chinese given name from Mandarin, typically rendered in Pinyin as Fúshān or Fùshān depending on the characters. Common choices include 福山 “blessed mountain” and 富山 “prosperous mountain”; other pairings vary (e.g., 甫山 “beginning + mountain”). The second syllable usually writes 山 “mountain,” evoking stability, endurance, and nature. Cantonese forms appear as Fuk-saan/Fook-san; alternatives in Latin script include Fu Shan or Fushan. Sino-Vietnamese equivalents are Phúc Sơn (福山) or Phú Sơn (富山).

As a compound virtue–nature name, Fu-Shan fits long-standing Chinese naming practices, and the hyphenated style reflects mid‑20th‑century overseas romanization now seeing a quiet revival. It is traditionally masculine but today used unisex. The name also resonates with place names called Fushan across China and Taiwan, adding auspicious geographic imagery. Not to be confused with the Ming–Qing scholar Fu Shan (傅山), where Fu is a surname, this given name emphasizes fortune or prosperity grounded like a mountain.

Fu-Shan doesn't appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. However you look at it, very few people share it.
