Juku is Estonian in Origin.
Juku is an Estonian masculine name, chiefly a pet form of Juhan and Johannes, local equivalents of John. Through this lineage it traces back to Hebrew Yochanan, meaning "God is gracious," and carries the jaunty, boyish feel of English Johnny.
Common as a nickname in the late 19th and 20th centuries, Juku later saw occasional use as an independent given name in Estonia. The name also appears as the archetypal child in Juku-naljad ("Juku jokes"), which cements its mischievous, clever image. Related variants and cognates include Estonian Juhan, Johannes, and Jaan; Finnish Jukka and Juhani; and John or Johan in wider use.
Juku is a rare name. Across 18 countries, we found 42 recorded uses of it.
