Šušu Gioro (Chinese: 舒舒觉罗，pinyin: Shushu Jueluo) was a clan of Manchu nobility belonging to the Gioro Hala . The other families belonging to the Gioro family were: Aisin Gioro, the ruling clan from 1644 to 1912, Irgen Gioro and Sirin Gioro. The clan descended from Shushu clan dating back to the times of Giocangga. During the reign of Nurhaci, Shushu clan was included into Gioro family.[1] The clan belonged to the Bordered Blue Banner, like another collateral Gioro clansmen. Modern-day descendants sinicized their surnames into Zhao (赵), Shu (舒), Zeng (曾), Gong (贡), Cong (从), Jiang and She.[2]
As a common noun in the Manchu language, the word šušu means "sorghum." This word is identical to Korean 슈슈 sjusju > 수수 susu ("sorghum") and Mandarin Chinese 薥黍 shǔshǔ ("sorghum").
