Baluchi is a modern, seldom-used given name derived from the ethnolinguistic term Balochi/Baluchi, the adjectival form of Baloch (Persian/Urdu: بلوچ for Baloch; بلوچی for Baluchi/Balochi).

Part of the Northwestern Iranian sphere, it reflects the Balochi language and people.

Some families prefer Baloch as a stronger ethnonymic given name, while Baluchi reads as a gentilic adjective. Pronunciation: bah-LOO-chee.
