Joo, also spelled Ju or Chu, is a Korean family name and an element in Korean given names. Its meaning differs based on the hanja used to write it. ==Family name== As a family name, Joo may be written with either of two hanja, one meaning "red" (; 붉을 주), and the other meaning "around" (; 두루 주). The former has one ''bon-gwan'' ((),()), while the latter has four (Sangju, Gyeongsangbuk-do; Chogye-myeon, Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do; Cheorwon-gun, Gangwonnam-do; and Anui-myeon, Hamyang-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do). The 2000 South Korean census found 215,010 people with this family name.
