Chuki is a Himalayan given name most common in Bhutan and among Tibetan- and Sherpa-speaking communities. Its meaning depends on spelling and dialect: as Chökyi/Choki (Tibetan chos kyi), it means “of the Dharma,” conveying piety, learning, and virtue; as Chuki/Chhuki, it is often linked to Tibetan chu “water,” with kyi functioning as a linker, yielding senses like “of water,” symbolizing purity, fluidity, and life-giving qualities. The name is typically feminine in Bhutan, while Tibetan name elements are broadly unisex.

Usage spans everyday Bhutanese naming to religious contexts, where the Chökyi form features in monastic names and honorifics. Romanization varies, so multiple spellings coexist. Common variants and related forms include Chökyi, Chokyi, Choki, Choekyi, Chhoki, Chhuki, Chukyi, and Chukey. Diminutives such as Chu or Kiki appear informally. Contemporary bearers help keep the name familiar across the eastern Himalayas and diasporic communities.
