Fu Szeto

Fu Szeto, also commonly written as Fu Si-to, is a Cantonese transliteration of a Chinese surname. It represents one of several possible romanizations of the Chinese surnames 司徒 (Sī tú in Mandarin).

The surname 司徒 historically represented an official title related to governance and construction in ancient China. As such, individuals who held this position or were associated with families holding this position adopted 司徒 as their surname.

The surname is primarily found among people of Cantonese origin. Due to various romanization systems and dialects within the Chinese diaspora, the same surname can have numerous English spellings. "Fu Szeto" is just one particular Cantonese rendering. It is important to note that individuals with the surname 司徒 might use other romanizations or choose to use their Mandarin pronunciation (Si-tu) in English. The variations in romanization reflect the complex history of migration and cultural exchange within the Chinese community.

The prevalence of this romanization is particularly noticeable in communities where Cantonese was the dominant dialect of the immigrant population.
