what does Su mean?

I'm trying to figure out what some words mean.

Like for example......Wuxi

[chellx]

Suzhou??????????????
Wuxi, wu means "no" or "none" or "don't have" and xi represents "tin", a soft white metal. See:

"When two fugitive princes found this area (Wuxi), where the tin deposits were abundant, they called it Youxi, meaning “Has Tin” in Mandarin Chinese. After the tin mine ran out in 25 A.D., it got the present name Wuxi, meaning in Chinese "No Tin".
