<p>Du is an extremely rare feminine given name in English-speaking contexts, though it functions more commonly as a surname of Chinese, Vietnamese, or French origin. As a Chinese surname (杜), it ranks among the common family names and means "elm tree." In Vietnamese contexts, the surname Dư has distinct cultural meanings. The brevity of Du as a given name gives it a minimalist, modern quality that might appeal to parents seeking extreme simplicity. Its pronunciation is straightforward but could invite questions due to its uncommon nature as a first name. In Western contexts, Du might be used as a nickname or short form for longer names like Duane or duplicity-related names, though its standalone usage as a feminine name remains exceptionally uncommon.</p>
