What is the meaning of the name Sangui ?

The baby name Sangui is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SAN-gwee.

Sangui is Latin in Origin.

Sangui is best treated as an uncommon modern name or surname rather than a traditional given name with a fixed pedigree. The clearest linguistic comparison is Latin sanguis, attested in classical Latin as sanguis with the oblique stem sanguin-, meaning blood. The shortened form sangui- functions as a learned combining element before vowels, visible in later medical and literary vocabulary related to blood, rather than as an independent personal name.

Because Sangui lacks a stable record in medieval naming, hagiography, or major Romance-language name lists, its use appears sporadic and recent. It may also occur as a family name, especially where surnames preserve nicknames, occupations, or local spellings unrelated to given-name tradition. Spanish and Italian contexts would more normally show names such as Santiago, Sancho, or Sergio; Sangui has no established religious or literary association. Modern appearances are rare and geographically scattered, so regional popularity claims should be treated cautiously.

Sangui is an extremely rare name. Across our dataset of national birth registries and international name records, Sangui appears only 15 times in total — found in 10 countries. If you're considering it, you'd be giving your child a name almost nobody else has.
