Sijiu is the atonal pinyin romanization of the Standard Mandarin pronunciation Sījiù of the Chinese name 四九, meaning "4-9" or "4th-&-9th", from locals' previous custom of gathering for trade in the town on the 4th and 9th days of the months of the traditional lunisolar calendar. The same name was previously written Ssu-chiuinWade-Giles romanization and is written as Sei³ Gau² in the Jyutping romanization of its Cantonese pronunciation.
