Suki

Suki is a Japanese feminine given name derived from the element suki, meaning love, liking, or affection, related to the verb suku (to like or be fond of). It carries a warm, intimate connotation and has been used in Japan as both a given name and a term of endearment. In English-speaking countries the name gained some independent use, partly through cultural exposure to Japanese names and partly as a nickname for Susan or Susannah via the diminutive Sukie. Related forms include Sukie and Sukey, which developed as affectionate variants in British and American naming traditions.
