Xiaoshu is a solar term in east Asian calendars.
The west uses the Gregorian calendar instead, so there is no direct translation for the word Xiaoshu, but it is sometimes translated as 'minor heat'.
Xiaoshu is usually from around July 7 to July 23.

Context is very important in Chinese. So your phrase can mean the following things and more. (If your computer displays Chinese, you'll see the difference in characters.) They all pronounce the same (xiao shu) with slightly different tones.
å°æ¸: Little big
æ¶æ: To get away from the heat
å°å: Uncle (Dad's younger brother)
å°æ¨¹: Little tree
å°é¼ : little mouse
å°æ: As ABC answered, a solar term for a date in July.

Are you talking about the market for cheap clothes and stuffs in Beijing? If so, I think you mean the Silk Market. In Mandarin, it's Shao shui.. :)

xiao shu? in my opinion, it sounds like "little mouse" in chinese. but if you were to make it into an english name, xavier sounds that closest.
