Qiu is Chinese in Origin.
Qiu (Mandarin Qiū/Qiú) is a Chinese name used both as a given name and a surname. As a given name it most commonly writes 秋, “autumn,” suggesting harvest, maturity, and quiet strength; less often it can be 裘 (“fur garment”) or other characters pronounced Qiu. As a family name it is typically 丘/邱, meaning “hill.” The name is unisex and used across Chinese-speaking regions.
Use as a surname traces to antiquity; Confucius bore the personal name 丘 (Qiū), and later naming taboos led many families to adopt the variant 邱. Modern Pinyin standardizes Qiu, but regional romanizations vary: Ch'iu (Wade‑Giles), Chiu/Yau (Cantonese), Khoo and Khew (Hokkien–Teochew), Khưu (Vietnamese), and Gu in Korean contexts. As a given name with 秋, Qiu has seen favor for children born in autumn or for the season’s poetic associations, and remains a concise, resonant choice.
