Tu comes from Latin tu, which goes back to Proto-Italic *tū and further to a Proto-Indo-European second-person singular pronoun. The word has stayed almost unchanged for thousands of years across many languages. Romanian kept the Latin form directly, unlike some other pronouns that got reshaped over time.
