The name rose in Japan from the late 1980s into the 2000s and is common in pop culture, lending it a youthful tone. Outside Japan, Saki is recognized via the pen name of British writer H. H. Munro, derived from Persian sāqī, “cupbearer,” a beloved figure in classical poetry. In Muslim naming, the related Saqi/Saki is a masculine given name and surname with that meaning.
