Meaning and background
The story behind Doo
Doo is recorded as a Chinese surname variant of Du and probably an English variant of Dew. The linked Du entry itself covers several Chinese characters with different histories, so a single literal meaning cannot be selected from the Roman letters. The English relationship is also explicitly qualified. These details make the spelling a documented family-name form while leaving the particular language and original written surname important to its explanation.
