Etymology
Traditionally thought to be named for the pearls produced on the seaside cliffs in the area. However, the first syllable 珠 (zhū) appears to be a Kra-Dai prefix in toponyms. Compare 朱盧／朱卢 (“a county under Hepu commandery during the Han dynasty”), 珠官 (“a county under Zhuya commandery in Eastern Wu”) and 朱豐／朱丰 (“a county under Hepu commandery during the Southern Qi”).
