Hulusi is Turkish in Origin.

Hulusi is a Turkish masculine given name rooted in Ottoman Turkish Hulûsî, itself deriving from Arabic khulūṣ (خلوص), meaning “sincerity, purity” or “unmixed devotion.” The form reflects the Arabic nisba suffix -î, yielding the sense “one characterized by sincerity.” In modern Turkish orthography the diacritics are typically dropped, producing Hulusi. The name carries connotations of integrity, guilelessness, and wholehearted loyalty.

In use since the late Ottoman era, Hulusi gained currency through literary and bureaucratic circles and remained familiar in the early Turkish Republic. Today it is less common yet well recognized, sustained by notable bearers such as dermatologist Hulusi Behçet, film actor Hulusi Kentmen, and statesman Hulusi Akar. Variants and transliterations include Hulûsî (historical), Hulusi (standard), and Khulusi (Arabized/Anglicized), the last also frequent as a surname in Arabic-speaking countries. Related virtue names in Turkish include İhlas/İhlâs and Halis.
