Xiao is Chinese in Origin.
Xiao is a Mandarin pinyin romanization representing several Chinese characters and is used both as a given name and a surname. As a given name element it is unisex; common characters include 小 “little; young,” 晓/曉 “dawn; to know,” 霄 “sky; firmament,” and 筱 “dwarf bamboo.” It can stand alone or combine in compounds like Xiaoming or Xiaoran, and affectionate reduplication (Xiaoxiao) is also seen.
As a surname, Xiao most often renders 萧/蕭, an ancient clan name associated with Han statesman Xiao He and the imperial house of the Southern Liang (Emperor Xiao Yan). Another surname, 肖, is also romanized Xiao in Mandarin. Romanization variants reflect time and dialect: Hsiao (Wade–Giles), Shiau (Taiwan), Siao/Siaw/Siauw (Hokkien/Teochew and Southeast Asia), and Cantonese Siu; related Sino-Xenic forms include Vietnamese Tiêu and Korean So. Approximate English pronunciation: “shyow.”
