What is the meaning of the name Nusi ?

Nusi is Turkish in Origin.

Nusi is a compact cross-cultural diminutive that has become a standalone given name. In Central and Eastern Europe it arises from affectionate forms of Anna - especially Polish Nusia and Hungarian Nusi/Nuszi - ultimately from Hebrew Channah, “grace; favor.” The sound aligns with Slavic pet-name patterns ending in -sia/-si, which were often shortened to -si in speech and writing.

From the late 19th through the 20th century, Nusi appears in Polish, Hungarian, and Yiddish-speaking communities as a homey pet name that sometimes reached official records; today it surfaces as a modern, minimalist choice. In Jewish usage, Nusi/Nussy can also be a masculine nickname for Nosson/Nathan (“he has given; gift”), lending the name a quietly unisex history. Variants and related forms include Nusia, Nuszi, Nushi, Nussy/Nussi, and Anusia; see also Anna/Hannah and Nosson/Nathan. Meaning varies by root: “grace” or “gift.”
