Lü (simplified Chinese: 吕; traditional Chinese: 呂; pinyin: Lǚ; Mandarin pronunciation: ly˧˩˧) is a Chinese family name. According to the standard Pinyin transcription rules, the spelling Lyu should be used when input of the diaeresis diacritic is not possible. However, v also often substitutes ü in pinyin, so Lv or Lu are seen. The name is transliterated as Lui in Cantonese, and Lu in Min Nan. Lü is the 22nd name in the Hundred Family Surnames book.
