Meaning and background
The story behind Mushu
Mushu is the dragon character from Disney's Mulan, voiced by Eddie Murphy according to Disney's D23 reference. The same character also appears in Shanghai Disney Resort's Lunar New Year celebrations, where the resort explicitly connects him with the Year of the Dragon. That gives the spelling a specific film and theme-park association. A dog named Mushu may be a fan tribute, while neither source establishes a traditional personal-name translation.
