Lu Yu is Chinese in Origin.

Lu Yu is a Mandarin pinyin rendering that can denote a Chinese full name (surname Lu + given name Yu) or a two-syllable given name. As a surname, Lu may correspond to 陆/陸 (Lù), 卢/盧 (Lú), 鲁/魯 (Lǔ), or 吕/呂 (Lǚ, often written Lyu). The given element Yu spans many characters, including 宇 “cosmos,” 玉 “jade,” 羽 “feather,” 雨 “rain,” and 裕 “abundance,” so the combined meaning depends on the chosen characters.

It carries strong cultural resonance through Lu Yu (陆羽, Lù Yǔ), the Tang-era “Sage of Tea” and author of The Classic of Tea, lending scholarly and refined associations. In contemporary use Lu Yu is unisex. Variants and transliterations include Lu-Yu, Luyu, and Lyu Yu (for 吕/呂); in Cantonese, 陸羽 is Luk Yu. Name order may appear as Yu Lu in Western settings when the given name is placed first.

Lu Yu is extremely rare. There are only 3 recorded uses on record, spread over 2 countries.
