Origin & History
Vũ (north) and Võ (south) are regional forms of the same character 武 (Wǔ), meaning 'martial' or 'military.' The name celebrates warrior virtues and strength. The regional split reflects the historical phonological divergence between northern and southern Vietnamese dialects, where initial consonants shifted over centuries of geographical separation.
