The main on’yomi ニュウ is from Middle Chinese /ȵʑi̯əp̚/ by way of Old Japanese にふ. The Proto-Sino-Tibetan root *nup sounds suspiciously like nuptials, from Proto-Indo-European *snewbʰ-, but that’s probably a coincidence.
The alternate reading ジュ, used in a few old words relating to courting, is also from にふ, but may have been influenced by a shift in the Mandarin pronunciation, an irregular sound change made for taboo reasons—to avoid homophony with its derived vulgar meaning.
